If you want to excuse Porsche dropping their Motorsports derived engine -- go ahead...I foresee an extremely expensive day for anyone who decides to take their new 991 to the ring and drive it at 10/10....

Actually they're known for being extremely reliable and stable -- that's why the Nurburgring is always filled with Metzger variants. Ironically -- the only non Metzger 911 I saw at the ring last time I was there was the Carrera 4 I was driving. I'll let you know how many I see at the track day this coming Tuesday...

Or were there any troubles with your Carrera 4?
Yes let me know, I'm very curious about it.

There were no troubles with it -- because I parked it and drove a rental Lotus on the actual track
Where did you hear the next GT3 won't offer PDK? I truly hope the next GT3 does offer the Metzger - I'll be first in line to buy it...I was under the impression the RS 4.0 was the 'swansong'...

Hi,
Serious question. Would it be fair to say that a car set up specifically for the NUR would actually find itself not very well set up for modern race tracks?
I wish in Australia they'd use Mt Panorama for testing in the same way. Then at least I could relate it to something tangible.
Cheers,
Nik
