I saw Rad put his 4 race wheels and jack in his old 997 GT3 RS.Elizabeth Bacon wrote:You guys rock! [Here's where I resist inserting a flirty emoticon]
Anyone have ideas about the cartage of wheels to events in a 911?

No back seat in the RS, this would be a little more difficult in a regular 911.Richard Jung wrote:I saw Rad put his 4 race wheels and jack in his old 997 GT3 RS.Elizabeth Bacon wrote:You guys rock! [Here's where I resist inserting a flirty emoticon]

I think a 986 Boxster S is still a very competitive car in the current AS, certainly near as good/better than the 993. A base Cayman is even better with all the right parts, IMHO. If the LSD actually becomes an option in the non-S cars next year, a base Cayman is arguably the best AS car. All this assuming AS stays the way it is.Elizabeth Bacon wrote: Yes, a competitive ride is very important to me, David. (A year back in my Eclipse makes it painfully apparent that "just doing it for fun!" isn't really that fun....) So that's why I'm not really considering the Boxster S anymore, Jason U, although a super-well-outfitted one like yours is tempting.... And what chance does the Cayman have to be competitive?
I would also expect the Boxster/Cayman to be better in the rain than the 993. Probably second only to the STi/Evos.
The 993 is still a sweet ride though. And you should take into consideration PCA classing, which has disadvantaged the 986/030 cars (at least down here in Z8, I think you're Z6).
I've seen 4 wheels/tires, jack, tools and several pieces of luggage fit into a 996/GT3. I'm sure you could find a way to get wheels/tires into a 993, but moving them around won't be the easiest... I use to drive the Spyder to events with 4 whees/tires, jack and tools, even with the top up...

245/18 front, 285-305/18 rear, is still a lot of tire to fit in a 911. The RS ones are taller, 19s, but about the same width.Robert Puertas wrote:yeah, but 993's and even '99 996's have alot less tire than a 997 GT3 RS...
