You just have done!! Many thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated.

Brilliant video - love the 996 Cup’s, but it’s a rare thing to find a video showing the car, never mind taking the time to run through all of the details and explaining the reasoning behind the modifications. Thanks 👍🏻

Great video. Amazing car! Personally I prefer the mk1 front over the mk2 on the 996

@henryf9175

The Mk2 styling had some advantage for front end grip on the cup cars. The car is actually a Mk1 but race cars tend to go through quite a lot of transformations.

Best video yet. As a 996 GT3 owner that was a very interesting video. 968 Clubsport next please? And 944/928 if you’ve got them in stock in the future. Thanks.

968 Club Sport we have at the moment, as indeed is the 944 rather unusually. If timings allow I was planning to do something on both or one of them. Glad you enjoyed.

Great new Porsche channel? Very nice calm presentation from a real world user with race experience. Great knowledge with even better explanations. Loved this 996 Cup video. Will we be moving forward to 997 Gen GT cars and racers? Many thanks from across the pond. 🏁

Thanks for the kind words and glad you liked it. We will probably do something with the 997 cup car at some point. There are some significant differences so worth doing another walk around. We also need to do the 997 GT3 road car when we next get one in and the weather improves.

That's a really cool video. Thanks. It's really tidy car with a great standard of finish for a race car. I have a 2003/4 model mostly used for track days. Can I ask you what spec the doors are and whether they were expensive? They look more solid than the originals and I was impressed you could lean on the driver's door as you got out without hearing a crack! Also is the spoiler itself the original spec? Obviously the mount extensions are after market. Last question is about the shift lights. How tricky are they to install and is the unit pricey? Sorry for so many questions. Final thought - would be great to see it at Rennsport Collective in November. Only a couple of 996 cups in the group so far. The other one is also set up for endurance racing and ran at Daytona I believe. Joseph

Thanks. Very much in it's working clothes. Bizarrely because I never had any big accidents we put it on a jig just to check alignment and tidy up any welds that had opened up over the years towards the end of it's racing career. It could use a new front PU and the rear PU has been adapted to suit the variety of exhausts we had to run. Straight through system at Spa was always my favourite. Doors are standard 996 GT3 cup car items, rear spoiler is wider than standard I think, probably RS spec from memory. It was changed ages ago. Shift lights were on when I got the car a couple of years into it's life, I can't see they would be that hard or expensive to fit.

Nice but I am waiting for a video on a Suzuki Jimny!

Ah yes. The 4th generation Jimny finally broke into 100bhp territory. I don't think Suzuki ever quoted official 0-62 times (assuming it goes that fast), but your best bet on Top Trumps would be weight which for an off roader is surprisingly close to a tonne. Of course you then have to add a driver which in some cases can get you back into 1,500kg.

The battery looked a bit on the big side for a racer where weight is a factor.

@911virgin8

3 жыл бұрын

You have to remember this is set up as an endurance car rather than a sprint car. A couple of KG saved could bite you in the bum when you're needing the battery to support a failing alternator or to drive the car off the track on it's starter motor etc. There are a number of options for battery mounting positions to allow for different options.

Hello great video what does the vehicle weight ? and can I ask the difference between the Gen 1 and Gen2 in terms of the Body and Rear wheel arches as I want to Put the TURBO wide arches on a Gen 1 kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJiAzaSLXcyalrg.html
