    For the Raptor fans

    Youll want to consider talking to Torrie here on the forum, he writes tunes for the gt, and also gave me one for my 6.2 raptor. The change in the shifts is worth it alone, night and day from factory...stock it will be in 6th gear by the time youre going 20mph, with the tune it will hold the...

    Greetings from the Fresno, CA area

    Welcome Ed. I helped push you into buying a raptor on the other forum... Youll love GT ownership, its the best car Ive owned. And half the fun is just looking at it. I bought an 18k mile one owner red car, from Marv, that had all the right upgrades already done. IMHO makes no sense to buy a low...

    Best Roadster?

    Clean dd z8 is a tough car to find right now. Plenty of 135k garage queens, but I want something to drive. Im thinking of a turbo cab...

    Best Roadster?

    Thanks for the replies...Im looking for something that has soul, looks and performance. Fit and finish also has to be there. The cobra was the closest thing so far, just not practical for a number of reasons. And I tried hard to make it work. I dont need a back seat, and would prefer without...

    Best Roadster?

    Im looking for the best roadster out there, 100k range. Im thinking it is the z8, as a close friend just bought one and Im very impressed. He also has a fgt. What are some opinions, as Ive gone through some decent cars in my search, but they didnt stick...I had a superformance cobra for 2...

    GT3 RS 2007 Porsche

    I think that while the 991 gt3 variant will be great, the 997 4.0rs was the last of the metzger engine and that's what makes it unique. There is talk of the 6sp mt going away, which will make for a boring ride. Seems like guys that know the 997 RS are scrambling to pick up the clean ones that...

    GT3 RS 2007 Porsche

    That being said, I think the .1 at 85-90k is the best buy, because they will stay there...the .2 is going to come down, just not anytime soon... I think a green RS would be a keeper, cause they're rare enough...

    GT3 RS 2007 Porsche

    For sure. And the .1 are awesome cars. The .2 is that much better. They are turbo fast with a n/a motor. And the feel is what makes them special. Spend some time on rennlist.com there are many enthusiasts there...

    GT3 RS 2007 Porsche

    I recently almost bought an 08 green with 15k one owner miles for 91k. If youre going to drive it, I would not be concerned with 5-10k miles, as they do better if theyre driven... 120k is too high. I bought my 07 for 105k with 2k miles 2 years ago. If youre going to spend that kind of money, I...

    GT3 RS 2007 Porsche

    Ive owned a 07 gt3 a 07 gt3rs and a 10 gt3rs. Best car to own if you already own a fgt...I would go for the rs as they are wider and better looking. They also have light weight fly wheel, better gearing, more hp. No problem as a dd, put on a simple bypass exhaust and youre done. Most visceral...

    exhaust(ing)

    Put on the accufab x with cat delete midpipe and stock manifold. Definitely louder, all around. I can hear what some would call a drone/resonance/vibration at various points in acceleration, but it's just the nature of the beast. I would agree that the borla did sound very clean, but...
