So,
I picked up the 997 as mentioned here: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=123126&sid=8a2f5fe9292ec3f0a1f1253ba6f82d98
First impressions, wow, what a great car!
I thought with the Shrick cams, GT3 throttle body and remap it might be a bit woolly, but it pulls ok. I sat in crawling traffic for half an hour going through the Blackwall Tunnel and it was just fine.
Short shift isn't a problem, only for the first couple of shifts of a morning, just take it slow and ease into the slot and it's fine.
Brakes - spot-on, nothing to say.
Only thing I've noticed is, hitting the throttle hard, the car slightly torque steers (or feels like that) and pulls to the left. Sudden lift-off and it dips slightly to the right.
Not sure if this is down to worn dampers, suspension arm wear, engine mounts or just the LSD?
Any thoughts out there?
Cheers!
