Brought home a garage buddy for it. (Have it on a charger, hence the popped hood and microfiber for the cable)

Just gotta figure out what I'm doing for wheels... nobody makes an OTS 19" "ideal" autocross fitment, so it's either run 0.5" narrow out back, run 0.5" wide up front with Apex wheels and hope nobody notices, or spend $3600 on BC forged wheels in the right fitment!

Late update - ended up not going for a 981, went for a 718 instead. Even looks like it might drop to AS from SS this year, which would be nice! Arrives at my door later this week if the snow doesn't get in the way.

Dang, missed this. Hmu next time, if it's late enough I can probably go. Planning on going a lot more over winter generally.

Finding a 981 has been a bear. Lots available, almost none with the LSD (PTV option). Got the whole winter to look at this point tho.

Yeah I've already pinged the Chicago one. They're not budging on price which seems ~4k high. They've already been sitting on it for 5-6wks so hoping another couple weeks gets them talking. CA one I might ping as well (but >3k shipping cost sucks), and there's one on BaT.

Turbo blanket. Unfortunately the dealer decided to play tons of games, to the point where I had to back out of the purchase. Just way too much risk for a car I wouldn't even get to see in person for 3 weeks after purchase. I'm back on the hunt now, the LSD option (PTV) wasn't selected by a...

It's not going to cause understeer, as the outside tire is still going to provide the majority of the cornering grip. What it will do is reduce (somewhat) the amount of torque you can put through the inside tire, so it will effectively delay your throttle application. Remember the VW does brake...

Used local companies for both. Went for one of the bigger companies for the solar. They were... Ok. Heat pump ac/heat was another medium size local company. They did a decently good job. You know they're trustworthy when you're famously critical electrical inspector says "yeah just show me...

Yeah I was excited to find this one. Unfortunately it's as far away as you can get in the lower 48! But it's CPO too for a reasonable-ish price and has the right options.

Thanks Cliff! I have a deposit down on a 981 GTS right now. I don't think I can stomach the new M2... The styling is just... Well, make up your own minds I guess. The supra ADMs are ridiculous too.

But is it STH legal? :ROFLMAO:

I'm including autox in there, not sure I want to spend all the money on consumables otherwise! I'm fairly lucky to have several good tracks within a couple hours drive so I only need a 1 day pass at home!

My familial obligations mean that my track time is fairly limited (1-2 days a month), so unfortunately wouldn't pay off great for me right now... But that's a great idea in general!

Yeah between the Camaro ZL1/1LE and the Corvettes, Chevy has really nailed the performance car segment. Just a question if I want to have that as my weekend/summer car too... I have some test driving to do for sure!

Yeah I was millimeters from the fender liner near the filler neck even in the R

Lol told ya. I was shocked they didn't rub!

I know right! Doesn't make me any more decisive tho

No debt (besides a very low Apr mortgage and a 0% loan on my solar panels that don't make sense to pay off), on track to retire in my 50s even at current salary level... I have enough I can splurge a bit now! Plus I have a third garage spot that needs filling.
