Tracking a 996 Turbo?

[Feffman]

Hi All:

I'm looking at a 996 Turbo for a daily driver but want to do about 6 track days annually. How is the turbo on the track?

For reference, in the past I've tracked a Lotus Esprit V8, Cadillac CTS-V and a Radical SR3. Thanks in advance.

Fast and fun, but not necessarily the best.

Items that I use to make some basic improvments on the fun and safety factor:

Race pads (Pagid Yellow and/or Black).

Brake fluid (Motul).

Sway bars (H&R) to dial out the factory understeer.

GT3 front brake ducts for better cooling.

CG sealtbelt lock.

They are great track cars. And if you are serious about track work with it do the 2wd conversion and install an LSD.

I tracked mine on standard brakes and they were not sufficient. After a few laps, I had to pull in and let the car cool for 30 mins.
I was giving it 99% though, and playing with a few full race GT3's.

Great for chewing up tires once you start going fast
