Re: White sport cars
Hey zzboba! Long time... Yes, the RS is a great machine. The chassis is so stiff that I can lift the front wheel in the off camber downhill corners. I can imagine what it would be like in the track. The handling is perfect with just alittle understeer. I actually like to drive with "cold" tires.... easier to slide 
I am looking for closer ratio gearing or final drive for street/track. You have any idea where I should go about looking for those parts? Did you do any aligment adjustment to your RS?

How do you compare your GT3 RS to your 996 Turbo?
Happy new year to you too!
I personally love the RS much more than the Turbo. I remember I used do a lot of modification on my Turbo just to make it handle the way I wanted. But the RS in stock form is already the car I wanted.
The suspension isn't as harsh as you would think. The chassis is very stiff but the ride quality is actually better than my Turbo with H&R suspension upgrade. I haven't yet play around with the suspension setting on my RS. The stock aligment in my opinion is already aggressive enough for street use. The car actually get alittle nervous on uneven surface road.
I am really impress with transmission and clutch of the RS, it give you so much feedback everytime you engage a gear.
I will bring my RS to the track in April, so will tell you alittle more then

great! one of the hottest -- if not THE hottest -- picture of a GT3 RS i've ever seen.
Never was a fan of the RS on pics, OTT IMO.
But after having spent the weekend with one, I am totally in love!
So beautiful, which brings me to my point, the best way to chose a colour is really not on pics, you have to see it for yourself.

yes. that is really true for the GT3 RS -- in reality it has such a great presence no picture can reproduce.
but this is often the case, especially with low sport models. the stradale is the same: on pictures it looked to me nearly like an ordinary modena, but looking at in reality, is seems like a different car. so fragile, yet so aggressive and elegant at the same time.

There is a user (KF) in the German forum that did the conversion of the gearbox this winter, I haven't heard the final result yet.
You didn't heard the final result?
The car works even better! It's incredible how this modification has changed the whole car. From 0-200 kph the car is much faster than before. Don't be affraid of the costs. The result is a better car!
Re: Gearbox modification facts
The ratio is 8:32.
They modified the gearbox (oil-cooler), we have steel syncronisation rings, "1-Massenschwungrad", short "Antriebskegelrad" (ordered by porsche motorsport),
they installed the tequipment short shifter.
More modification are GT2-Steel-Break, Phoenix-Sport-Cats and a few things more.
If you want, i can send you a detailed list of the parts.
