Unfortunately i'm a long way south but I may bring it to the RS day in March. If I do, i'm happy to run you round in it. If you would like to know more about what the car is like to drive, Cmoose drove the car a year or so ago and posted a decent article here on PH. If you are interested It may be worth searching for that.

Another update on this thread and to re enforce the benefit of the tarett spring plates as an upgrade. The car was half a second quicker at Snetterton with the same and very tired Cup 2’s. The only upgrade since the last visit was the spring plates. More importantly, the car was more fun and a lot more predictable. Definitely a worthy upgrade

Just revisiting this thread. With 964 prices moving ever skywards, is this just another beautiful drivers car destined to fall into the hands of collectors migrate away from the type of owner that would contribute to this thread? It’s probably already happened to a large extent. Such a shame

Pretty much Steve. The 996 C2 is now proving to be the default choice for those seeking a cheap entry point into 911 ownership. Whilst the 964 has become the focus of collectors, Singer and a host of other backdating/modifiers.
Hope you’re well ?

This should be right up your street smile :

Hi Henry. All fine thank you. How’s you? Liked that 964. Personally I don’t see merit in backdating a 964. I’d even take a carefully modified 964 in its original clothing over a Singer.

Think there’s a pretty sharp set up on that one. Nice car

Yes, I suspect there's going to be a sharp learning curve-what a machine though! Not to clog your thread up-if there's anything I need to know or any advice just send me an email. I don't have any set up sheets and when the JRZ's were last rebuilt it was simply set up to "as before" on the invoices.

DI you end up with the ZanziCup?

You should be fine. There were several set ups the sharpest was R+1 which I used on my car. Not sure there are many cars with that set up as it’s a bit twitchy. Part have all of the data. They are all pretty well balanced but you will need to trail into the apex to counter understeer when you turn in on slow corners. Still have Slippy’s old MK1. It’s a fun car to drive

I still think the vast majority of 964 C2 owners are the type who like to use the cars, sure there will be some that go into collections, like the low mileage one on CC at the moment, but most owners I know want to use them as intended.
