That's about how I feel about the 991 GT3. Brilliant car, but I wouldn't ever consider purchasing one, because for me to have fun dancing around the limit, I'd be way, way deep into illegal speeds.
Have you considered gears for your s2k? AP1 gearing is rather tall, but that was the fashion back when it was released. |
Yeah, that's absolutely it.
I briefly looked into a final drive gear for S2K as-is. Wasn't convinced enough to go with a 4.77 final drive, 4.56 sounded like the right bump up but I decided to wait and leave the s/c door open if I ever grew a pair to go down that route then reassess what needs addressing. So many parts, so little money. Do you have a preference for a particular final drive?
Reading back what I posted... I want to emphasis that as you compare the Twins to the higher-weight class cars they punch at, you get into quality-reverberation. What I mean by that; at high(er) metrics and mechanical demands - those small(er) tangibles and intangibles begin to compound, stripping a car to its base where quality matters considerably. That the twins punch above their weight is the best compliment I can think of. That they need greater compensation than the higher weight class to travel similar speeds is logical and not a slight to their achievement whatsoever. Again, for me its a feeling and I don't expect to feel as good because it's saving serious $ getting similar results, either price or details suffer. One thing I've learned modding the S2000 - keeping quality up is a direct function of money. Creating automotive harmony is pretty damn extensive and exponentially expensive.
Nothing but praise for both cars!
