'16 GT4CS value?

I upgraded to a 718 MR and will probably sell the '16CS. It's got a few goodies including dundon headers, a coolbox, some slick aero parts from dundon, etc. It has A/C and airjacks - 70L tank. The...

I'm getting oil temps upwards of 275/280 within about 15-20 min in a session and water temps of 220 or so on hot track days at Sebring in the summer. I know Porsche says oil up to 290 is ok, but that...

I just bought an 08 GT2 a few months ago. I've probably owned 15 porsches; most recent road car was a 991 GT3. I also had a wildly modified 996 GT2. The 997 GT2 is WAY more comfortable, quiet and...

I want to get my father's '96 Arena red 993 targa semi-restored for him. It's got 60k miles and basically just needs 3 things:

Thank you! I'll get the more conservative size and report back. I've got a set of new Michelin slicks for Sebring next weekend, so could be interesting to compare!

Same thing happened on my 991 GT3. Severe delamination type wear on inner rear tire edge, I’m assuming it’s RWS toe-in related, but it sounds like there’s maybe something wrong with their QC.
