Looks a lot like the Z4 GT3! That is in no way a bad thing!

It is base on GT3 Z4.
We discussed that nothing look better than the GT3 Z4. GTE look a little squarely.
Even this man has his pride on making his own custom and doen't like copy admitted that I should replicate the GT3 for best looking.

We will follow the GT3 style and tone down a little and add a little JDMish into it. Car will not be lowered at race car spec. We want it functional so duplicate exactly GT3 with car not slam to the ground might look funny.

Any input and comments are welcome.

Street car but I track as weekend hobby.
Might be competeing in Modified class for GTA but my set up now might set me to Unlimited class.
Crazy wing driving on road is fine for me. Just like most of the Porsche GT3 tht spend time on street more than track anyway.

Wow, great project!
What is your planned finishing date?

Which engine you will use? In my opinion this street GT3 must get something really evil...
Any changes on the power planned?

If anything Single turbo with SSP transmission will be add.

I have to look at my wallet after widebody finish, Then go from there.

Target to finish with in a month.

My car already broke 500+ on torque with e85 on stockturbo stock internal(dynojet)
But right now we will set it 440 on pump gas since DCT not going to be happy with those torque.

I will test stock DTC until it slip and will upgrade to SSP internal upgrade.

I meant not to do SSP right now so people with DCT on E89 and 335is can study on the case.

You can say it's all show no go. I can't convince you to think or like the same thing I do.
To be honest I wouldn't mind have this wide body on stock engine. 500+ whp will set me to unlimited class in GTA.

Car that clock fastest lap sometime is not the car that has the most horse power
But I admitted that this widebody things is more for show to me I just wanna have it.



But again most of my car are not slow , so you don't have to worry about that
380whp on flash tune 335is already clocked some mid 11's. 400+ should do some good time on straight if that concern.
There are a lot of 500+ out there can't clock 11 in drag strip.

Yea, I guess Z4 is already more show than go by definition

I think it will be a cool looking project, but at the same time I think everyone will be trying to pass you at the track if you have a car that looks like a pro racecar, so always good to have the HP to fend them off.

True

But the cars that will be passing my z4 (on my set up) would have to be those Unlimited class EVO or Those 400+ STI though.

Normal Carrera has no chance.

I will hang tight and stand for our chick car.

Actaully I don't know what mods you have on your car but don't look down e89 that much. E89 with KW will out perform Cayman S (987.1) easy.
It's not a bad potential car at all.

As of now I think I could go as fast as my 997 around the track proly like half a second lower but it's hanging there.

My E89 i stock, maybe that's a factor of my bias against E89. I feel it would take a lot of $ to fix overheat issues (more engine cooling, more brake heat capacity, tires) and its not worth it, should just get a more track ready stock car, or mod something cheaper. 2nd day with the car, and only about 20 days overall and E89 35i is a limp mode party already

I've only driven stock 987.2 Cayman S PDK at track, and I like it a lot more than stock E89

EDIT: I have a lot of fun with my car, I like it, I just don't think its a "Track missile" or a "Good value"

Well said right there...
I totally agree on that.

I agreed that it's not worth spending money on e89 to make it fast and reliable.
Oil cooler need to be add , Rear brake upgrade issue , DCT slip , Flimsy Roadster roof , ETC.

I don't why I'm doing this either.
