I didn't know that he owned one of these.







I also heard that Roland Kussmaul owns a 6-speed 964 - any confirmations?

 

he does. Walters is also a 6 speed G50/32 i believe.

 

Yeah, it's an RS and he bought it last year IIRC. Said something to the tune of "I had to get one of these before they get way too expensive" or something like that.

 

Exactly what I told my better half.

BTW - my car also has the 6-speed G50/21 Euro gearbox with LSD.

 

I can say I am quite happy with my G50/32 as well.

 

I am also very happy to have bought my RS earlier last year. And it comes with a short 6-gearbox, Turbo-brakes, 300hp and 1180kg. What a car! My very private Le Mans feeling, anytime I want!

 

which offsets are your 996 wheels?
those must be your road wheels.

 

From the article

 

Rob,
they are the stock 996 10J x 18 ET 65 which I run with 21mm spacers. I use 265x18 Yokohama semi slicks for the road and really love that combo. Up front 8Jx18 ET 50 with 225x18.

The car seems to run smoother than with the stock 17" mag wheels, turn in (with uniball suspension) and cornering speeds are phenomenal.

For track use I have a set of BBS mag wheels.

 

(--- aarrrrggh!)
OK -- even though I had to blow-up the image to read it, you CAN'T just stop a great article like that by giving us just PAGE 1!

Please, P-B -- would you post the remaining pages?

Thanks for your efforts!

And a general question for all -- why do folks obliterate license #'s in pics, while Walter -- and his story meisters -- don't. Is he any less 'at risk'? Or, are they displaying irresponsible neglect?

 

Walter is only showing you some dealer plates - his own would be black.

E.g. in Switzerland you can look up the address of any car owner via his licence plates. All date is publicly available. Some simply do not want to invite theft of their cars.

 

oh! black vs. red lettering... Interesting. thanks. I'll look for that in the future.

Neither the American club magazine, Panorama, or Excellence appear sheepish in displaying tags in articles.

I don't have a '911 World' laying about to confirm if such tag publicity is an American publisher-peculiar laissez-faire practice.

 

Oh heres the link.
