Have you done GT3 LCAs and coilovers yet to really get you to a MANual faux .1 GT3?

The 991.1 RS's are high 190s - the .2's are 250. Still... much like my final decision on the SpyderRS... a 3RS is not as good as two regular cars with DeMan motors.

Your review sounds exactly like every other review. Torque monster. Power everywhere. IMO it's the perfect street motor. Don't need to wind the F out of it (like you do a 3 or an RS product)... diesel-like torque almost, can lope around town at 2500 and squirt it on whenever you need it, almost like a turbo car.

It really is the perfect street engine. I haven’t done any suspension mods yet. As things wear out I’ll replace them with upgraded parts. Being AWD and having axles up front, switching to GT style LCA’s requires spacing the axles, and extended length tie rod ends. Not sure I want to go to there yet. As far as coilovers. If I can find something that doesn’t compromise the excellent ride, then yeah, otherwise, I’m fine with just replacing with oem equivalent. I really don’t see a need to increase its cornering ability. It’s already ridiculous for the street. Maybe if I start tracking it more.

Ah I didn't realize your car was a C4. That complicates it a little bit for sure.

The stock stuff is far from terrible, especially on the street. Just sucks getting any kind of decent alignment on it geared towards performance is all.

Bent my platinum silver wheels on the road trip out to DeMan. Rick tried to balance them out. It was better, but I could still feel faint vibrations. Didn’t feel like dealing with waiting for them to be straightened and refinished. So, I got PS4S’s and mounted them on what were supposed to be my track wheels. That gives me time to figure out what color I want to refinish the bent wheels. I’m thinking satin aurum or neodym.

Neodyme for sure. Just saw a picture of them on a white car and it looked really nice.
