It's in how you configured your RL view. With my view, which I think is default, this page 501 and post 20,013.

They are kind of hard to compare, one is a homologated race car from a world championship winning rally program, the other is a fun street car. Unfortunately they don't make them like that anymore, and I gotta settle for something. Flame away

I'll bite...

I say this with the humility of a guy who as a kid, worked as a busboy, saved his money, and bought a used 1986 Mazda RX7 as consolation prize to the Guards Red 944 Turbo he really wanted but couldn't afford: No matter how hard you try, Mitsubishi and Porsche don't belong in the same sentence.

very nice! do you have any pics of the side skirts?

The Green T is visiting a friend for the winter, graciously making room for the GT500. It had a nice send-off weekend. Lots of attention at this morning's Cars and Coffee.

Sleep well, my friend.

I realize most will know this, but maybe there are some who don't. When the 991.2 T was released, it was standard without radio, screen, speakers, etc. Available to add back in at NC. But quickly required by USA mandate for the rear camera. (I believe some early 2018 GT3s made it in without and it was quickly blocked.). We had many discussions about the stated weights (which were always sans electronics) beyond just the standard RAS discussions.

The Evo wasn't "homologated" for Group A since the Evo VI. With the advent of WRC (world rally car spec, 1997) the competing cars developed into something that can be called "kit cars", the Evo VII had so much in common with the WRC version as the 307 or the C4.
Also, Evo VII and later were based on a larger and heavier model/platform (Cedia) than before. Same with the WRC kit cars. You can actually say that the real Evo died with the Evo VI.

Ok, FAL.
I have it.
The rural lanes around my house in Devon, the speed bumps in London and getting on and off ferries, make it a reassuring option,
I am sure it adds weight, but it’s at the front.
These new 992 water cooled 911 things are unfamiliar territory for me, but I seem to remember most of the weight being at the back

I didn’t mean anything other than that the 20.000th post wasn’t about a 992 T which I think is funny.
