I know what my first mod would be

Moar reflectors? Perhaps you could consider some reflective tape on the door edges too.

[skc]

GT3 fo sure.

A mate is selling his GT3 Rs, and I have it for the week end - figure I wake to the first wet roads I can remember in Sydney for a few months...... Anyway, hopefully it is dryer south and west of the city where the decent roads live.

Yeah! I'm sure there'll be plenty to choose from in the grandpa isle of supercheap

[steve2gtis]

You do realise that I have had MANY black, white and grey cars? Time for something a little bit schit!

Fixed.

Wayne - latest Motor Rag has a comparo of GTS vs X5M vs ML63 vs GC SRT8.

good reading

Verdict - GTS - Drive's like a sportscar and sounds like a V8 supercar. Not the fastest but definitely the best all round package.

Would love to see a GTS review in the style of the X5M review;

No time to join together and only ****ty scanner

Lol.......they'd get laughed out of the camping ground by Patrol, Cruiser, Hilux and RANGER owners.

[sweatyworker]

What do they say about the SRT-8 ? Have a look on YOUTUBE for the vids of the 1000hp kits for Hemi

[shauno]

One of my work mates has a deposit for an SRT8 - about $86k onroad with sunroof+audio, not bad for 334kW - dealers seem pretty clueless about stock & delivery though - what's the rest of the article say?

Fark Zorgie, do I have to drive out to the petrol station in this wet night to go read it? Lol

Get a subscription.

Get a subscription.

Funny you say that. I had a subscription for like 15-20 years, and stopped a few months back. Don't miss it!

I'm speechless. That is so cool. Only in Japan indeed. You just have to love Japanese car culture. They know their stuff too, not just like the recently rich people of China and Russia or even the Middle East (they are getting better though) who have little in the way of taste.

Different mate, this one's white /red.

Having driven a few at the track, tbh I always thought they were vastly over-rated. On nice driving roads though, I have to say it was one of the nicest things I have driven in anger. Not the quickest point to point by miles, but really really nice. Even up and down both sides of the Jenolan Caves road which is narrow and quiet rough in places, it was great.

Main problem for me though is that although it is lovely thing to own, it is a a rubbish car for day to day use, a very mediocre track/competition car, and a fantastic car for driving on roads at a rate I really can't do very often........

[shauno]

What's a "rare" 997 worth $275k? GT2 or GT3RS?

[Jim Bookie]

it's a silver/orange gt3rs - if anybody sees it contact the police.

You firm up my reasoning to own only the twin turbo version... one day... soon..... I would love to see your review one day of the 911T if you ever (or have already) driven one, hopefully one that has a few extra power mods too to boost it a few 100kw's over stock to satisfy your quench there also....

^ Looks like 2:04 ~:05

Could easily be faster if set up and driven seriously.

Really? How did you come to that conclusion??

[WAY]

It's a guess, but given this is a LMP2 car, you would think that it would be much faster than a GT3 car that set the record at 2:04.

[skc]

Sorry, I was being sarcastic!

Looking at some of the comparative ALMS times for Laguna Seca they would suggest that something in the minute fifties would be possible??

I have driven a few Jim, but only ever at the track or around town.

Haha sorry it was late at night and my sarcasm sensor was switched off. 1:50s would be so cool to see!

[Zorg2]

pretty cool story

So I name dropped "Wayne Leng" to the Porsche PR man in Sydney and got "Who?" in return.

I sincerely hope no one at Porsche knows me except those at the dealership! Otherwise I am clearly buying too much or paying too much lol.
