I've actually watched enough of your videos that I recognize some of the roads. Nice driving! I don't slide my 987.1 but thanks for letting me know that when I'm pushing it on the twisties I'm putting a lot of wear on the rear brakes. I'll start running with PSM off and SPORT on.
@DasCayman2 ай бұрын
Yeah, whenever I go to the track my rear brakes will just about near catch on fire if I don't turn PSM off. The real GT / RS cars have a better ABS controller from BOSCH / Motorsport. Even when PSM is "off" in non-GT cars, it's still on. BUT! Just be careful if you're not used to it. $400 in rear pads is a lot cheaper than $40,000 for a new car :)

@@DasCayman Yup going for the 987.2, would you say only go for the 3.4's, or stay open to the 2.9's too? I'm leaning hard to the 3.4. The .2's in my area have been scarce, might even step up to a 981s, if one pops up quicker.

It was my dream car too. Now my 987.2 is sitting outside, had it nearly a year now, and I can't wait to drive it again later today. It became my daily because you can't get me out of it, nothing goes wrong with it, and there is so much storage. Options I love... LSD, sports shifter, PASM, chrono, PSE. Only mods so far, LEDs in the headlights and fogs. Maybe long tube headers next.

Damn, I'd love to have a proper wheel like that in my 987.2 CS. Bet the steering feels great. But I do a lot of miles in it and I just don't think it's worth the risk of going no airbag. Suppose a full harness would sort that, but then most people would say you need a cage as the harness without a cage is an issue if you roll the car. Bleh.

@@DasCayman Problem is, you can't control what other people do. The more miles you do, the higher the odds that someone in another car eventually does something you compensate for.

After seing this it is mandatory to do some driving ''tutorials'': 1. How to Rev Match 2. How to Heel Toe Downshift Those 1st gear downshifts are simply flawless, but it is a little bit more wear for the 1st synchro because the gap between 1st to 2nd is the biggest of all gears. Keep up the good work mate.

@flat6croc4 ай бұрын
@@DasCayman I can't comment on the condition of your transmission, but it's a mechanical impossibility for rev matching to protect the syncrhos, it does absolutely nothing to equalise the gearboxes internal speeds. When you blip the throttle with the clutch pedal pushed down, it has precisely zero impact on the gearbox. Rev matching reduces or removes clutch wear, that's it, it doesn't help with synchro wear at all. You may as well say stamping on the brake pedal protects your synchros, it makes about as much sense!

@@DasCayman I’m really after fun. I just ripped a 997.2 3RS and loved the LWFW, engine / intake sound and great shifter. I have a sharkwerks x pipe, gundo side mufflers and Fabspeed intake with OZ Ultraleggera wheels. Hoping the OE carbon foldable buckets make for a very close feel (outside of engine noise and pull) to the GT cars. What else would you do if you were me? I’m worried LWFW on the carrera will be less livable than on your Spyder. On the 7.2 3RS, I felt no issue driving the car normally like some people complain of regarding to revs dropping quickly…
@DasCayman6 ай бұрын
The lwfw won't be an issue. You have more torque than my Spyder too. I'd try to liven up the experience and theater as much as you can without sacrificing drivability (if this is your only car). Adding lightness helps. You'll love the buckets. If the shifter feels sloppy you can get the numeric cables and shift mechanism. Just be careful of not putting too much money in it as you'll encroach on the price of a better base car, like a 997.2 C2S @@hazemgiballi
