    My new babe

    It's still under some minor modification. I will post some more pic when the modification is completed.

    Re: My new babe

    very nice - there are some excellent track events in HK this summer, too bad I will be in NYC...

    it does get very humid there this time of year though

    the car looks very good!

    Chris, do you use a private tuner/mechanic for track preparation? or the dealer?

    Re: My new babe

    There will be a track day in Shanghai next month, some really nice cars will be there. As I know the following cars are confirmed to join:

    1) Zonda C12 F
    2) CLK DTM
    3) CLK GTR
    4) 360
    5) 360CS
    5) 430
    6) 430 Spyder
    7) Gallardo
    8) 996 GT3 RSR
    9) 996 GT3 RS
    10) 996 GT2
    11) GTR R34
    12) GTI R32

    I usually take my cars to my friend's garage for minor modification. For major job, I will take it back to the dealer.

    Re: My new babe

    ah - the shanghai track is lovely - local police are very nice too - and worst case - easy to bribe!

    anyway, i want to trade my CL55 for an M6 for use on the mainland - hhave to investigate how to import one without getting slapped with additional* taxes. tax tax tax !!!

    PS. very interesting to see you have a mini cooper - its such a fun little car! i wanted to get one - but i already have too many cars sitting outside

    have a great summer and drive safe, Beijing is depressing but HK never gets old

    The import tax for car in China is very high, even higher than HK. I think it's around 150%.

    I am selling the Mini and seems the trend of Mini is gone.

    Re: My new babe

    Nice... Thats Carrera white yes? Any more pictures, would like to see some in better light.

    Guessing this is your track toy then, what kind of mods are you planning to get her ready??

    Congrats This baby is waiting to sniff at the race-track's tarmac

    Nice collection of cars
    I guess everybody here is interested to learn about your driving impressions (maybe with a comparo to your F 430 experience )

    Yeah, a nice little removeable Rennteam logo in the rear window would work

    Re: My new babe

    congrats chris! thats one original cayman s design..enjoy in good health.

    Re: My new babe

    It's a Carrera White. Not much options had been taken. I had only chose the Sport Seat and Sport Chrono. I think the sport seat is really a great option!

    Today I will have the PSS9 installation and stainless steel brake line with DOT 4 brake oil. Originally I planned to upgrade the front brake with 996 GT3 6 pot caliper with 350mm steel rotor, unfortinately it doesn't fit. May be I will mod the brake later when something available in the market.

    I had repaint the stock wheel in black and leave the rim in silver. It makes a really big difference, look much more aggressive. Also I had replace the stock wheel cap with a color one, it's a perfect match with the black wheels.

    I want this car to have 2 major colors, balck and white, so I had tint the window in black as well. I think I had made more cosmetic mod that performance mod this time. The idea of having a checkers sticker is came from Rinspeed Indy.

    I am still considering a tubi exhaust, but just worry it's too annoying if I drive it to work everyday.

    BTW, I will take some more pic with day light tomorrow and post it here ASAP.

    At this momonet, it only has 200km on clock, still not yet run in so I don't have a chance to test it's real performance yet. May be I will take a chance to compare it's performance with my G-car and F430 when it's ready. However, the F430 will arrive before Aug, it's almost 2 years waiting, what a long wait!

    I have not tried the "M" mode yet, but the "D" mode is doing very fine. The response is faster than my 996 turbo and it's very smooth. I can say it is very good for everyday driving.

    Chris,

    May I ask where you had the windows tinted? I have a 997 arriving next week and I am thinking of having its windows tinted too.

    Many thanks.
