  1. Interesting to hear someone else has had this problem. I had this exact issue a few weeks ago out at ECR. Hasn't happened at all driving on the street since then, but I've got a DE event coming up in a few weeks.
  2. I wrestled with this same decision for exactly the same reasons. I wasn't sure if it was worth buying the SC in order to gain the "more relaxed" PSM settings. Now, after a year or owning the car, I'm quite sure I would definitely not buy the SC again. Prior to the 911 I owned a BMW M Roadster, and in that car is was necessary to disable stability control for any kind of event or even for enthusiastic driving on the street. BMW's stability control was very invasive and I developed the habit of turning it off very regularly. In contrast to that I've found that Porsche's PSM is entirely unlike my experiences with BMW's DSC. Even in the normal, non-sport mode the PSM rarely interferes with aggressive driving. It's quite possible to kick the back end out a little bit if I'm feeling spirited on the street and on the track I've never felt PSM take charge in a situation where it wasn't appreciated. Like mglobe, I find that the sport throttle mapping is pretty awful and never use it. When I autocross I've got PSM completely off. I overestimated the desirability of that third, middle-ground PSM setting. The reality of PSM for me is that normal mode is permissive enough for me and off is still off when I'm autocrossing. In practice I never make use of the "sport" setting and I'm certainly not getting my money's worth for the option. I'll skip it next time around.
  3. Yeah, that's one of the threads I've seen. Unfortunately, all RonCT knows is that his shop charged him $1300 to do the work. He doesn't know any of the details about what was actually done. I'm looking to do the work myself so I was hoping that someone here would have more technical information.
  4. I've seen several references made in threads on other discussion boards referring to 997s that have been retro-fitted with "GT3 control arms" in order to achieve a wider range of adjustment for camber. Does anyone have any more detailed information on that process and what it actually provides? What part numbers would I want to order for the work? Is this fronts only, or fronts and rears? I called Suncoast and they said they'd never heard of this and just tried to sell me some camber plates. I'm about take take my (new-ish) 997 in for an aggressive autocross alignment and if this is something I'd want to do, I want to do it first. Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated.
