Default 964 RS vs 964 C4 Lightweight
Good looking issue coming out (no affiliation)
Very interested to see how the C4 does (especially given its short gearing)...

Thanks for the heads up! This actually looks like a good issue. I bought it.

Barth is actually driving the C4 in the cover photo. Cool!

Read the feature and very interesting. Both very different cars conceived for different reasons...

Would love to figure out a way to replicate the mechanical 4wd setup with the bias ***** for the diff locks....

Well I went and bought the mag to see if there was anything earth shattering in there

Unfortunately there isn't

Lots or words about the RS, nearly all of which could have been regurgitated from dozens of previous pieces on the car

Seemed to boil down to the unsurprising fact the C4 LWT was better on track than the RS,

A good idea, but a missed opportunity for an in depth study of the C4 in use, IMO

Unfortubately aside From pretty photos that is all this Magazine is good for. It's just praise and praise everything Porsche.

A pity. They used to be quite good. GT Porsche was by far my favorite out of the UK when Stuart Gallagher was at the helm.

Nobody seems to write in depth articles anymore... The pictures seem more important than the content. I prefer to read the musings of the guy who runs the Jackals Forge website on his GT3 and his 993RS replica than anything I've read in a magazine for years...

I still have pics of the C4 Lightweight that was at RR2 in 2004. Need to go find them. It was a cool car for sure.
