Impressive to see the 996 gen car still putting down an impressive lap time. You were making those GT4 Clubsports look slow. Nice job.

[JaredR]

Gotta love hearing that flat six scream on the straights. Thanks as always Mike

[SuffyANX]

The 996 is such a cool era of 911, especially in racing. Still sounds amazing and looks like a blast to drive all these years later

[stephencarozza]

The perfect fix for the off-season track blues! Just kicking’ it.Thanks Mike.

[ICEV]

1:53 in a 996 Cup. Wow. Awesome. These guys in 992 Cups barely turn these times.

[chuckpalmer]

Your 2nd lap, I'm thinking, this is def the fast lap then you give us the 3rd! Nice man!

[bmwjoon]

Nice driving as usual! Suspension frequency looks low end for those tires from video. A data nerd can confirm that. Old school is still cool! Cheers

[evanbordash]

Nice, seemed to be pushing it pretty hard. Those are impressive times for sure. Heel to toe sounded perfect! What tires were you on?

[rceron]

Great video. So inspiring. Who set up the car? I wish I could get my 996 GT3 to turn in half as well.

[scuderia_team]

is that the regular gearbox or sequential?

[rennpart]

That’s it Mike, I’ve got to sell the street cars and buy a cup. Is that a stock 3.6? Hope you’re doing well.

If only these didn’t have so much in rebuild they’d be a steal at 70, 000
