CGT driver was probably worried about getting sued.

The C-GT "let" the 968T go by.

Hi Patrick, I know the owner of the 968T, he's a customer. The 968T is a 3L - 8 valves, Vitesse MAF & Injectors.

Hi John, well as much as I respect your stuff, it makes me think that the CGT lifted just a little as the 968t got past too easy. 600hp is 600hp after all.
Strange for a 968 to have 3.0L 8v though nowadays?

Patrick, I was simply stating the specs for the 968T engine as per your request. I was not commenting on who passed or who lifted or why!

Yep no prob John and thanks. I wasn't making any slights on your stuff either of course. The 968t looked nice and quick no worries there!

I think you guys are kidding yourselves if you think that 968 overtook the CGT on a straightaway without the CGT driver letting him pass. I'm sure the 968 is fast but ......
