Paul, Didn't you buy a trailer last year, and if so, why didn't you use it?

Congrats, sweet! I thought Manthey didn´t sell their products in the US?? How do you like the exhaust? A recommendation though, please take off the seat covers.

Congratulations Paul !

I think you got the best GT3 that was on the market in the entire US.

The Manthey powerkit and the solid mounts alone are over $15k. They ran 7:41 on the Nuerburgring with a car like that equipped with their KW suspension and Dunlop SSR 245/35R18 and 285/30R18. The stock GT3 was 8 seconds behind on the same test.

I just got a set of Manthey camber plates last week.
