Mike, this may have been covered elsewhere, but I was wondering why you went for a RHD 4.0 living in Switzerland?
I've seen pics of lots of your other cars and they seem to be LHD (like the GT2 RS).
Epic collection btw, just revisited the shots of the Murci at the coast, incredible.

Did anyone else notice that the 4.0 turned the SAME numbers as the GT3 RS 3.8 ?
0-100 mph = 8.0 sec for both 3.8 & 4.0
1/4 mile = 11.8 sec both cars
1/4 mile speed = 122.2 4.0, 122.6 3.8
Even the write-up said speed and handling/grip were the same
Hope to see more tests (GT Porsche is usually good at side-by-side comparisons) as well as owner reports (and maybe a video drag race
).

In the latest Excellence magazine, Chris Harris describes the feeling of taking delivery of his personally-owned RS 4.0. Very cool considering he freely admitted he can't afford it, but felt he needed to stretch to get the 911 he most desired.

That was a very interesting read. He tends to not show much bias towards specific brands/models (Clarkson can't say the same thing), but his ownership of GT3s says a LOT. I'm sure if he had the money there would be a Ferrari in his garage, but that also demonstrates the value of the 911...
