even gt3's w/ rollcage, sequential shifters, and centerlock wheels should still be considered stock. it's harder to make fun of you w/o your banana strage sighting of teedee devoid of his gadgetry? don't believe it. watched that video again and STILL can't see what slides he's talking about.

 On a more serious note, I now understand what I was experiencing. Although I thought my suspension was fairly stiff at the time, I now appreciate how soft it is (which is a good thing for street use). I was also on full tread brand new street tires, not to mention the fact that I was picking up my speed quite a bit. Consequently, I was starting to experience tread squirm and lateral movement of the "tires" at "relatively" high speeds going through the uphill esses, which was disturbing to me at the time. I now know that this type of lateral movement, while disturbing to newbies, is not the same type of movement you experience before the tires actually break lose, so I really didn't have "too" much to be concerned about. I really never want to go back on the track again with soft suspensions and street tires, although that would be better than not going on the track at all.

Well, it's official
I now own my first Porsche. I bought Chuck's '87 cabrio today and will be picking it up next week after they get emissions handled and an AC recharge.
I'm still boggling that I own a p-car now... -- Scott '87 911 Cabriolet (Chuck's car)
