The michellin pilot sport cups are more track biased unless they've done something funny for OEM fitment. Crap in standing water...
Manthey are a german based tuning company that can enlarge a GT3 motor to 3.9l giving 440bhp and wads of torque for about 26k Eur. They also offer some very nice suspension for 2-3k GBP as well. A GT3 mk2 with that lot would be a very quick piece of kit. JZ Machtech are the UK supplier, although I'm not sure if they undertake the engine mods. There is more info here :
www.manthey-motors.de/mainframe.asp?lang=de&e1=155
The Manthey 440 may be a bit extreme, as it needs a rebuild every 40hours or so, depending
on track/road usage.
This is what Manthey told me when i was out there a few weeks ago.
Thanks for info
The 410 should be ample, and is every bit as usable as a standard car.
Suspension mods are the ones to do 1st, as they transform the car.

There you go, hitting me wit do's negative waves again moriarty
Think Positive thoughts baby

p.s. probably not much point modding an RS to 410 since they already do 400.

What does the chrono package actually do to help the car perform? If it actually does something, does it make the 0-62 0-100 times any different to if you dont have the chrono package?
Personally, I think the Sports Chrono looks pretty ugly on the dash top.
But, I suppose, if you need timing gear, an integrated system might have its uses.
Don't think it has an performance benefit on the GT3.

On the 997S the pack changes engine mapping and gives sharper throttle response - although doubt it actually alters perf. figs. Makes it easier to be precise on heel 'n toeing etc 'cos throttle response quicker. Also,weirdly, it contributes to operating the headlight 'see you to the door' function - don't ask me why, it just does! Talk to your dealer. Don't know if all this applies to GT3. Oh almost forgot, it also partialy dissables PSM if you're not brave enough to hit the fully off switch which is probably it's best feature. Agree it looks like something tacked on from Halfords but a bit more to it than a lap timer

Hello everyone...well took the plunge..ordered a new GT3..in white/black wheels..with clubsport package..I have the full 28 page options listing on email if anyones interested. I live in the UAE so will get to have a good drive on clean roads and track. Had gone in to dealer with intention of Cayman after having had a new Boxster S. Have not finalised specs yet as car wont be here until November! Bahh..We have an option of removing or deactivatiing the CATS here...is it worth it and because the dealer cant tell me anything...what does this do..add more BHP? Any suggestions on essential bits to add from other purchasers would be greatfully recvd.
