Owners guide to the Porsche 996 Carrera 4

Driver improving

I went to MAM yesterday, my first time since 2006 in my old Porsche 996 and happily, I'm now quicker in a car with half the horsepower. Pretty cool. Here's a comparison of two sessions, you can see that today I'm a lot faster through the turns and using more of the tire G's around turns. I'm throttle steering the car through most turns now (rotating the car by moving weight to and fro using the throttle). Anyway, it's nice to see an improvement from buying a car which costs about the same as a set of rims, tires and coilovers for the 996... Pink is lateral Gs for the 944 sp1, red is the GPS mph.

Last track weekend of the year for me

and also the second! Did nothing this year except for Bondurants 4 day school and a PCA weekend. Very sad to look at the race car in the garage building up dust. But, two days of open track on Sat/Sun this week so thats cool. May be raining on Sunday a little, we'll see.
