Note: please listen to the first 5 minutes at least to get the overview of James's research and feedback. Top quote (starting around 3:40)

As an overview, James has been able to save up to buy his dream car which I've also lusted over for years - a turbo-charged Porsche! I always held Porsche up to a high standard as the are a premiere high-performance sports car manufacturer with a long pedigree of racing success. What else would you want as an attainable supercar?

Although as I began to work on my first Porsches years back, I could see that they created a very 'firmly-controlled' setup that wasn't forgiving on any kind of road roughness. I think this came from their idea that German Autobahn roads were their focus so they could get away with a very TAUT suspension.

But I've found that this isn't the best way to get fastest lap times in the real-world nor the best comfort, nor the most relaxed and composed overall driving experience.

James has done extensive research before deciding to work with me and Fat Cat Motorsports so I greatly value his diligence and willingness to work with me and also inform the Porsche community via Rennlist forum of his findings!

"I can say for sure that the overarching result of getting this FCM Elite Stage 3 setup on the car and daily driving it around, it has revealed to me problems that I didn't know I had with the old setup, the factory configuration. That isn't necessarily saying it was bad - I don't necessarily think it was something anybody could say 'well this just sucks!' It's definitely better than other cars that I've been in - I've owned Mustangs, BMWs, Volvos - and I can say there's definitely some attention to how Porsche set their system up.
