This past Monday a small part of the Forged Performance Team spent our day at Road Atlanta for the CHIN Motorsports Track Day. There was plenty of track available to all drivers and many personal best lap times were set through out the day. One of those drivers was Forged Performance's own Sharif Abdelbaset in the track prepared Porsche 996 GT3 with an astonishing 1:31.8 laptime! This an unheard of laptime in the "old school" 996 GT3 street car chassis. Even in factory 996 Cup Car, this is an exceptionally fast time. To put this into perspective this is almost 4 seconds faster than the NASA GTS-4 track record! Here is a quick run down of this stock powered but track day modified GT3:
• Stock Body
• Aeromotions Rear Wing
• Forged Performance Custom Exhaust
• Drop in Air Filter
• Forged Performance Race Spec 6 Point SCCA/NASA Certified Cage
• JRZ RS Pro Coilovers
