But the "cards in the spokes" tweaks you are talking about, to say two pro drivers one in a spyder and one in the JD prepared race car, to say your car would win is nothing short of delusional.


It won't matter anyhow, I now know why the prices are skyrocketing, no more new spyders so what's left is going to be too much, looks like I'm S shopping now.

First of all, at no time did I say that the technology of the 986 platform surpassed that of the new Spyder . Rather, the premise of my remarks was to suggest, by comparison one could create a very formidable performer out of a 986 for much less money; provided that the modifications were executed in a well planned and methodical manner . Furthermore, if you think that performance mods from the likes of 9FF, M&M Exhaust Germany, Fvd/Brombacher, Evolution Motorsports, Champion Motorsports, and Hamann just to name a few are "card in the spokes", then you're a bigger jackass than I thought you were . But, please go spend 90k on a 310 hp vehicle with a 2 cent bikini top .
