Default 991 Follow on Porsche and Prototype

It's been awhile since we showed this spy camera shot of the 991 follow on car in action. Also, a shot of a much earlier prototype in blue. They are supposed to be saving a fortune in fuel.

You may want to reconsider before jumping onto an order for a 991 if this is truly in the wings.

OK, now I'm really convinced. The time to stock up on P-cars is NOW!

What's the best air to use under the car on the track?

So Dan, in the process of removing the PCCB's and your 19's? looks like they won't be necessary on the 991!

No, no, no! Air expands too much when it gets hot. The key is to have your dealer or track shop set you up with nitrogen under the car.

Edgy01's levitating allegory is just about right. The 991's longer wheelbase will increase its polar moment making it more arrow-like and therefore slower to turn, say more 747 and less F16.

Nice Photoshop Skillz. Are you using CS5 with the context sensitive fill/replace?

I can't take credit for the red or the blue shots. The red one someone doctored several years ago (around the days of CS2) and the blue one was a shot of mine that someone merely did a quick and (relatively) dirty cloning job on to remove my jackstands.
