[EJ25RUN]

I thought this was a car for the FIA GT championship.

[speedminded]

the funny thing is, it wont be as fast as the ferrari this yearIt's gonna be real close...have a feeling the entire season will be like the Sebring finish.

[Elbow]

I hope to drive one! I am betting it is a lot better then the older ones.

[speedminded]

are you talking about GT3 cup? if so, they are different carsyep, the GT3 RSR and F430 GT are in the GT2 class.

[matthewAPM]

I thought this was a car for the FIA GT championship.

oo. i didnt know what series you were talking about. yes, these cars are used in the LMS. but its not just porsche. Watch and see ferrari win this year...

the GT3 cup uses GT3 cup cars

[matthewAPM]

It's gonna be real close...have a feeling the entire season will be like the Sebring finish.

OMFG! that was the best GT finish ever

[EJ25RUN]

I just realized what i wrote earlier.... its name is GT3 RSR but its competes as a GT2.

Im big on gt racing so i dont know why i wrote that.

from autoblog

Thirty-five orders for the new GT3 RSR have already been placed, at nearly €350,000 apiece, and are being filled by Porsche's Weissach workshop.

[speedminded]

Also if for some reason anyone here wants one, I was talking to Porsche Motorsport the other day, and the wait is long enough this will be historic by the time you get it lol.It's available as a street car? :thinking:

[Elbow]

[EJ25RUN]

[Elbow]

It's available as a street car? :thinking:

No

[matthewAPM]

did you TIVO those from Speedtv?

yep!

you will be able to get a RSR at the end of the season...

[EJ25RUN]

Why did you quote me on that lol

[Elbow]

I am.

[EJ25RUN]

i just realized something. Its always

EJ25RUN, simontibbett, matthewAPM, speedminded

talking about these topics.

Ps. MatthewAPM.... my scca license came in :bannana:

[matthewAPM]

I am.

u with a RSR? hahaha. u couldnt get a 996 RSR. and not only getting the car is going to cost an arm and a leg, just running it for a season is going to be more than most people have in a life time

[matthewAPM]

i just realized something. Its always

FAWK YEAH MAN!!!!! are you running the autocross this weekend?

[Elbow]

I know I used to work on a Cup car daily, and the warranty from Porsche on them for basic maint. is INSANE

And if I had the money of course I could get a 996 rsr :goodjob:

[speedminded]

Also if for some reason anyone here wants one, I was talking to Porsche Motorsport the other day, and the wait is long enough this will be historic by the time you get it lol.

:lmfao::lmfao::lmfao: i hope that wasnt a real questionJust saying it's a race only car and there's not too many GT2 team owners on IA ;) Then for the teams that need or want it they already have them ordered and being made for the season. At the end of the season you may be able get one from them :D

im guessing farnbacher

[EJ25RUN]

FAWK YEAH MAN!!!!! are you running the autocross this weekend?

Like i have to drive around engine braking everywhere cause its so bad.

Ill be getting them done hopefully by the weekend.

[matthewAPM]

And if I had the money of course I could get a 996 rsr :goodjob:

not me. i would get a 997 GT3 cup car and run Grand-Am.

[matthewAPM]

i said that a few lines ago. lol

[Elbow]

Yeah me too, actually if I had that money I am not sure either would be one of my first choices lol.

[EJ25RUN]

[matthewAPM]

well ALMS is just alot of money. Grand-Am is pretty cheap and the competition is better (not better but just different). and getting a 996 RSR would do you no good. There is no series you could run it in. lol

[Elbow]

DAMN!!!! What happened?

[matthewAPM]

tell him that.

http://cache.jalopnik.com/cars/assets/resources/2007/04/GT3_Crash_01.jpg

old news. it wasnt the guys car either. what happened was he let someone drive his car with little experience and he spun at the finish and hit a car, which hit a car, which...

he needed to kill the car anyways, there is no way he could keep up with Ian.

[Elbow]

Yeah true, historics, lol, but for wanting to make a career I dont know if that's the path. ;)

I like Grand Am, but I like ALMS better. However you are right about Grand Am being cheaper, and probably better competition.

ALMS is more like F1. very little contact, a lot of money, and everything is perfect.

in Grand-Am, its like BTCC. the term "rubbin is racin" comes in, a little cheaper, and most everyone is american (and from GA)

[Elbow]

You are in Athens? Ever been to a Athens meet? If not come on out I can give you some more info on road racing, autocross and stuff.

[KidSaru]

Yes and no. I've only been to Pleasant Hill a couple of times as far as "meets" go, nine times out of ten it was/is wreckless idiots getting others kicked out. I'll for sure try to make it to the next meet though, thanks.

[Elbow]

Yeah Athens is safe meet wise, we have never had issues. No rice, no wreckless people.

[KidSaru]

Great, that's much better to know. I know a couple of 240ATL people from Athens that go to the meets, seem like good people.

[matthewAPM]
