Thought I'd post a picture seeing as quite a few of you have been kind enough to help with advise and comments, thanks for those! Anyway, I went for the GT2 RS version as done by Specialist Cars of Malton, its quite simply an amazing car! And john at specialist cars was a real help in telling me what work had been done in upgrading the car......550bhp seems to work hehe ......will see how I get on with the suspension set up as am considering upgrading that later. Will keep my eye out on here for postings for track days etc



I have a 996 C4 GT3 bodykit for sale if anyone is interested, its in the classifieds, ocean blue on a 1999/T

Cheers

Dave

i can post more pics but I dont seem to be very good at doing so, am I missing a space or something between [pic] url [pic/] last time i put no space.....?

Haven't driven it loads yet, but when the turbos kick it the inductions actually roar...open windows is a no...its too loud!....I work in knightsbridge so there is loads of exotic cars crusing around...none like this though....makes all those 360s looking boring!

No extra spaces required, just verify the URL in an extra browser window before pasting it - the one used by Gary is straight off photobucket...
