After 17 years and 70k mi the dreaded GT1 Mezger coolant lines started leaking. My local Porsche shop is at least two months out for an appointment to weld these fuckers up.
The engine has to come to come out, so I suppose it's a good opportunity to pin the cams, and do a GT2 slave cylinder conversion  I suspect another five figure bill for this

I’m interested to hear the outcome too. I’ve added 997.2 GT3 to my shopping list (in addition to 991.2 GT3) to replace my car, and the 997 GT engine is also the Mezger design.

Wait, you gonna sell the RS and replace it with a 991.2 GTS or 997.2 GT3RS? I can understand the 997.2 GT3RS but why GT3 in the same chassis? You wanting a manual? |

When we get back from the rally, I'll shoot you the next event people are going to and how to hook up with them. Some guys who aren't going will be at C&O, but normally a big group goes and rolls in together (not me, I haven't been since they left Perimeter). At least some of them should have DDATL Exotics gear on. |

I placed 1st and I think 4th for the day, 2 seconds off best of the week - wife placed 3rd. She loved it, but refuses to track a full sized car. I’m doing an outdoor pretty large track Kart racing season this year that starts next month, hopefully the wife joins. LOL, wow, that is insane!!! Way to go big!! I looked at a few TechArt pieces for my 992S - $2,000 for a front lip - LMAO - nope!! Can’t imagine a TechArt fully built car. Congrats, that is awesome!! That’s just insane! Yeah, it has all of their pieces and the powerkit., came out to around 35k. Just a few more days until it arrives. @D_J I know 2 or 3 people in your crew! They sent me videos from the rally and some pics from the hotel and gas station as well. I’m signed up for the Long Tail rally in June, going to drive the McLaren on that. Inbox me next time yall are getting together officially or not, I’m in. |

Almost 1200 miles on the car so far.
First PCA Fun Run of the season yesterday. This is about half of the cars in this shot. I was the trail car in the first group and there was 4 or 5 groups total.  Is that a Sheriff's Deputy?  Yes, yes it is. Dude flipped a u turn right there as soon as the light cycled. He gave up on our group, and then circled around to try the next group. No tickets issues, AFAIK. Lunch at the end! Can't see it from here, but there was a new type VW Bug about halfway into the parking lot.  Can't wait for the next one! |

Cost will be $3-3500 to weld up some BBi/Sharkwerks lines, and another $1-2k to put on a BBi GT2 slave cylinder. I recently moved to NE OH and my long time trusted shop in Columbus OH is out of range. Unless I trailer it down there, but that's a cost I'm trying to avoid-it's not a fuckin Mclaren |

Kind of idly kicking tires at the local Porsche dealer. They have a 2015 Turbo (low miles) and a few 2021 Carreras in different flavors.... S, 4S etc. If I do move forward it'd be a daily driver for me.
Obviously there's a fair few differences but is there any compelling reasons to avoid one or the other? The turbo has more hp and less tech given it's 6 years older. It's also the 991.1 whereas the Carrera options are the 992. The Carreras are newer with more tech but don't have the heat turned up nearly as much. Not sure if one would be a better daily driver over the other. Just curious if there's any clear and compelling reasons for one over the other or whether they are both solid options and it's up to the purchaser? |
