That's a good way to look at it.

I'll take one of everything. 13"-18" wheels....motorcycle engine...flat six....V-8, or more....aero/non-aero. Sheesh, it looks like Fernando Alonzo even loves driving go-karts.

I have to admit that I don't know anything about the differences between an SR3 and an SR8 but I would just let the numbers talk...

SR3 1.3L (like mine)=912E, SR8=930........if you want to compare across the same Porsche platform.

So far this thread has it all.....race cars, race car drivers, racing knowledge, hot broads, bickering......so the only thing missing is beer so enjoy......

That would be one very quick 912E! And having been passed while at full chat in 4th gear by Rick DeMan in his SR8, I do know how fast those things appear to be. I think Mr. D was approaching Warp 3 or 4 when he went by. All I could think of was "where the hell did THAT come from"? Then all was a blur.

I've done about 30 or so laps @ MSR with Pat Long in something similar to his regular office chair....a GT3 cup. We never hit the top end, as we were on a 1.7 mile technical circuit both times I had him as a coach, but boy can he make rights and lefts.

Yes, a 1.3L Radical can corner very well for what it is. Same as a 912E--even on 225's if you went full tilt on the suspension you'd not give anything up in the turns. Hit a straight, however.............

bb993tt

Well the SR8 has absolutely no problems on a straight. Rick went by me on one and left me like I was standing still, even with my foot fully planted on the throttle and approaching redline in 4th.
