As far as the mods go If you do 2 or more track events a month and are serious about T.T or wheel to wheel racing you might consider a second car, Dedicated for the track, I could check and see how much it costs for some of the mods ?

Well I plan to go to 2 or 3 events a year... Unfortunately I can not afford another car...or at least, not another 911... I looked at some Z350 but hard to justify for 3 events a year...
Well I would be interested to have an idea of the cost of the mods... do you think it is something I can do myself ?
I checked the RMS and it is fine... I have a colleague who has a 997S and his RMS has just been replaced even though the car is 5000 miles only... are you sure the 997 seal would protect against this failure ??? to me it is a Porsche "desease" and Porsche should cover it otherwise their image is going to deteriorate...
