The read got a bit gargly for my AADD but the car had PCCB's. They went back and forth re: the PCCB option adding hp's on the dyno vs a non PCCB car. It turned into a science class and I quit reading.

Yea, but at the end of the day, my 2010 GT3 put down 17 whp more than a fully modded 997.1 GT3, using the same correction, same dyno, and same weather conditions. PCCBs would not show much more hp on a dyno.

DEVO, congrats on the car

Hey devo.

I ran across this 07' and would like to know the name of the color. If you know that is.

I have not seen it before; unless it is just the lighting. The car only has 6K miles on it.


Thanks.

It looks like Atlas Grey; not my choice. It does look better in the metal though.

I cringe whenever I see that question. No one cares about a guy that drives a Hyundai Accent..but when you see some rich guy all of a sudden people are interested in what he does....even if he tells us what would it change to us....I don't mean to be rude but come on

Silver/white are always the front runners. I did not realize it had that much "blue" in it. Thanks for the clarification.

Top is Slate, middle is Meteor and bottom is Atlas right? I suppose it was because I do not see many Atlas colored cars.

What is the temperature in the garage? T.V. out there yet?

Assuming the weather has cleared up there, can you give some overall impressions?

Compared to your past TT too.

Thanks.
