Re: Show us your whites!
looks nice! great pics john boggiano!!
@GT3RSjo, when you first posted pics of your targa, we could see a 997gt3 rs with the white/red colours from the
996gt3 rs we see in this picture.. are they both yours or
do I have to visit an eye specialist in the near future

Re: Show us your whites!
You are quite right, the 997 RS belongs to my colleague and the 996 is my baby since "birth". I like to believe my car inspired him to get that particular coloursceme, which cost a silly amount extra.....not just for the paintjob but the stckers and red mirrors also..
On the other hand I find it quite amusing that Porsche, as the only producer in the world, would charge a considerable amount extra for white, compared with black, silver met, orange or green......

Re: Show us your whites!
Thanx 
Had the `73 RS for two years and used if for historic racing. Went over to racing the 996 GT3 RS and never used the old one, so it had to go.....
The GT3 RS in the picture is the same car as the one with red decals......just testing another look than the original for some time....now its back to original exept Cargraphic exhaust and Manthey suspension. Cant remember what the BBS cost, but they were not suited for normal road use anyway. I actually cracked the center on both back rims from hitting kerbs etc.... The racing teams x-ray the magnesium for cracks after each race......and I didn`t which almost caused an accident..... go for the same rim with the forged aluminium center instead.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Any insights on the difference between the OEM-setup and the Manthey-setup? Is it just a different setup or also different dampers?
Also, if you say the magnesium wheels are not suitable for street use, is that because they're to fragile? Do you happen to know the name of the same BBS's with alu-centre?
And last but not least, don't hesitate to supply us with soundfiles of that cargaphic-system on the RS!
Grtz, Frank
