I just saw that track on MotorWeek a few hours ago. They were testing the 911 GT2 on it. :w00t:

That drop looks spot on with the sport springs. What are the specs on the springs? What do you think about the body roll? Does it rub?

That SHO was fast. Those guys had 3, really stripped to the bone.

The body roll is significantly reduced from stock. There is still some, but its minimal. With the stock wheels, there is no rubbing, but you need to be really careful with aftermarket wheel offsets.

Cool! Looks like someone was racing a Alpha Romeo Giuila GT.

Yea, it was a SHO. That red one belongs to my brother-in-law. We had five of them running at the track. My green 92 and my son's white 93 were the most "track prepped" of the group.

asv = Thanks for the nice compliments! I was so impressed with your car that I took my wife to the dealer already. We are shopping to get her a new daily driver and your 135i impressed me so much that I am seriously looking at getting one. (My wife's current daily driver is also a SHO.) Anyway, it was a pleasure meeting you. Your photos look great. Hope to see you at the next Del Val BMW event at Watkins Glen in July. There will be at least three SHOs running at that event.

Cheers!
