Talking My GS on Bristol Motor Speedway

Just got back from a Porsche Boxster event (brbs.org) I help organize.. Having sold the Boxster S, i'm currently porsche-less for now, but had plenty of fun with the GS.. We got to go around about 15 times..

Since it's an 06 (no sharkfin), it would have to be a 300 or 430.

Great pics! Glad you had fun

Very cool pictures, thanks for sharing!

I tried to set something like that up here in Charlotte at Lowes and they wanted to charge us some crazy amount of $$$.

GS300 AWD.. was great on the track and even on RT221 & RT421 in the mountains.. was keeping up w/Boxsters pretty well using manual shifting to hold low gears.. due for a brake job now though are there any good cross drilled rotor options and better pads (maintaining the low dust qualities of the stock pads) ?

Check the vendor's section for brake kits for your 3GS. I believe there was a group buy a couple of weeks ago, could be still on.
