The view over the 996 is much more....modern let's say.



I never thought about the view out of the windshield and you are dead on. My 79' SC was like no other regarding the view of the hood(sloping away) with the pronounced front fenders. I'd have to agree that my 996 doesn't have the same look.

Looks like it's come up great, and some nicely framed shots... love the rear view in the mirror one.

I am sunburned and tired.... had a great day and just played with the 86' out on the autoX...

Camera mount = better, but not good
Still this is fun as I was just wagging it all over the place... for me its a great way to learn where grip lets go and where the weight swings around....

anyhow... FUN (I will post 2 vids when they are ready)
hope they make ya smile

Nice Ed! The track looks like 3 miles long? Where is it? Really like the swooping right hander into the the s's.
