I mean Kpro on the DC5 made sense but now the CTR has turbo pushing the full torque at 2.5k
For bragging rights, for that Ring time record. I mean, if you can do it, why not?

Also, it seems like with the relocated kingpin setup, torque steer has been very effectively kept in check. So as long as you slap some sticky tires on, why not?

The thing that really surprised is those 20" wheels. I mean... holy... Surely some 19" compatible caliper would be enough? Even a regular 911 come standard with 19's. It isn't until a Carrera S where you get 20" wheels standard. Replacing those tires are gonna HURT!
