Default how to compete 997 GT3?

i know it's not far to the 997 GT3, but the Pcar would still be a little faster, specially in straight line and uphills (yes i mean Ring mainly)

what mods do You suggest to get the same ...

yes I drive ring with m friend with GT3, when i had GTR it was no competition as the GTR is extremely fast at the Ring, but now I have to fight more :-)

I guess there is no simple way to get more power from that engine without loosing it's life....

it depends on your budget but easiest way would be to loose weight put it on a diet and then some proper set up suspension and you will have no problem with the gt3. Also an AP brake set up.

Id start with take out the rear seats. Light weight exhaust system Ti if you can afford it. Delete the air con, Carbon boot, bonnet, front and rear spoiler, doors if you can afford it.

Some 2 way motons

a remap

sticky rubber

AP brake set up job done

sure i'll get an exhaust, but have not found any TI for CSL. now my actual choice is Supersprint Race. Brakes i'll change for sure. Tires are fine, the CUPs are great don't see a point here...

diet is a good point but what can i take off? rear seats is just like 5kg? aircon will stay in car for sure, same as audio.

Easy

Become a better driver. Unless your friend is at 7.50 for Full Circuit (around 7.20 BTG then you have a chance, but if you are already saying the car isn't fast enough you will never be as quick as a 997 Gt3.

Shimmy the 997 GT3 is faster with same skilled driver. And yes I see our point but with this guy we are equal. I don't say that the CSL is slow, but for example compare to GT-R, yes it's slow in uphills and straight line.

btw my time is sub 8 whole lap, his is a bit over..

ahhhhh

but hence my post about better driving as the CSL is capable of 7m 50

but losing some weight say 90kg will help

sure, I've seen the 7:50 lap on wiki. but we probably can necer get similar conditions, at least we never have empty track as those test guys.Same with GTR and same with any other car. so once 7:50 is probably best CSL lap time, I'm pretty sure I can never do sub 8 with CSL... at least with stock :-)

sounds like a load of reasons why not to me, but tuition and more laps and a slightly better driver on the Ring will keep up with a GT3 esp with a few kg less

not as easy on a Circuit but the Ring maybe
