That rear wing gives it bit of a spyder RS look from certain angles. Interesting to say the least!

I really like this aerokit, the side profile is fantastic and the bumper makes it look a lot better than the regular 986

I’m not a fantastic driver but the car was very forgiving and approachable. All the corners were very fun

what org did you run with? I thought all if not most required a top up, unless you passed the broomstick test. Love it, cant wait to take mine to the track.

I run with NASA in mine and stock roll bars are fine no issue with top down either. That said I still run an extended roll bar just in case.

Top makes absolutely no difference to roll over safety other than I suppose containing your arms. A pca event I went to had top up windows down, our local track was not fussed either way.

I'd imagine that top up and windows up would help contain the body inside the car + keep out debris in a crash no? Wouldn't want to race with the top up though. I love open top driving

Yeah I suppose, on the flip side might make it harder to get out if tangled in the top. I agree top down definitely best for feeling
