So after flirting with a 997 GT3, I decided to go back to a GTR, which I picked up yesterday. Bought this one from Litchfield (as I did the last one). This one is stage 4, Litchfield suspension, transmission cooler and 400mm brakes with RS29s. I then added the Litchfield upgraded bellhousing and some downpipes for that cheeky bit of flame on the overrun.
I bought the car without having seen or driven it(!). First impressions are:
- it's a proper weapon
- stage 4 is a little more laggy than stage 2, but meaner at the top end
- the LM suspension really transforms the car, makes it more darty and direct
- downpipes make it very loud and it's a bit droney at motorway speeds, but worth it for the full throttle banshee noise
- the tranny cooler makes a real racket and I doubt I'll really see the benefit unless it's on a track day
CSL goes up for sale this week, sadly. Here's a pic.
