Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

The settings were done by JZM to one of their tack settings, with some road and it was too raw which is why I had Fearnsport take it back to a more sensible setting. It did lose something in that, but was a better road car for it.

Yep!

I know for fast road use and some track work to keep front camber sub -2.7 and ideally under -2.3, so -2.0 is a happy front setting for me. Might be a tad too little for track work with the stickier tyres, shall just have to keep an eye on the outer edges to check I am not scrubbing them too much.

I know Mike who runs a 996 which is now more or less a permament track car runs upto -4.0 at track on michelin cups.

On the rear most say around -1.80 is fine and giving more makes little difference unless your running extreme front camber, but the front should always be more than the rear ideally.

Rear should always toe in, stability under braking.
Front toe neutral to keep the front feeling positive as toe out only gives you more initial turn-in but not more actual grip on the 911.

I do remember driving yours and thinking WTF, this car just wants to throw itself in a hedge. :D

How'd I use him, he operate a driving school or frequent track days?

He doesn't have a school but he does do 1 to 1 coaching still I think. Might be better if you got 2 or 3 Porks up for it and shared the costs at a track day, I suggest Silverstone. Ill have a word with him and find out whats involved.

I'm only running a Boxster, but tuition is relevant to my interests...

Yeah one is normally organised every July and as with all track days you can get tuition for a small fee. Also doing a track day February 3rd and tuition is available.

I'm pretty sure I used to race Clio Cups online in RFactor against Sean Edwards, think he was a couple of years into the Porkers at that point. He was bloomin' quick in the digital world too!

Yea most likely he has a few vids on his Youtube racing them I think.
 
I think it might be to do with my late father owning a string of Porsches, but theres also something else that makes me really emotional/mesmerised watching Porsche's being driven fast like that, especially round the ring; what an amazing car, driver and overall video.
 
Thing is that is a road car that will do that day after day and then take you back home to blighty without using any oil or engine problems. Hard as nails, nothing bests a Porsche GT3 RS4.0 for Road and track use, nothing.

Is the engine proven now then?

It clearly had the formula to be a classic, but with the way prices went post release, it also had plenty of potential to become a garage queen, and never get tested / potentialy "found out"...
