Default 997 RS 4.0 Featured Car for 000 Magazine

Insightful, interesting series of articles and interviews on the 4.0 in the current issue of "000" magazine. As always, amazing job by Pete and team.

It makes sense that Pete would finally do an issue dedicated to the 4.0 shortly after I sold mine. So that now I can have a leather bound reminder of all the ways I should miss it

Alas! But take courage, for you still have what remains the high-water mark for me among Porsche's road cars—and with sounds unmatched until I drove a 917.

Just don't go selling it, as that may trigger the 000 article on the production CGT…

Rickman,

It is the Summer 2021 issue, Issue #18, the current issue I think. Lots of good stuff including pieces on the Boxster and the 959.

Waited 4 years for the 3.8 and got the 4.0 instead.

Apologies Mr. Adair, if it had to be the 3.8 only—but there is some key info on the 3.8 (and 3.6, and GT2) in there. And we've got a good excuse to circle back to both the 3.6 and 3.8 at some point.

If only I had endless garage space, time, money and overall capacity for complication in life! For a while, I tried collecting/owning cars like I had all of those. I’d think “if I love 997 gt’s, clearly I should own one of each!” And then, one must own a few AC’d from select gen’s (or all gens). Each RS, and so on. Oh and then there’s the track oriented v8 N/A f-cars. Sounded like a rational concept at the time. Oh Lord, now I’m a car dealer, storer and mechanic! How’d that happen? This time I mean it: NEVER AGAIN! Two fun cars are keeping me more than happy with a fraction of the complications. I could see adding a track rat down the road.

Pete, I am looking forward to reading your 4.0 issue when I get back to the city. I hope it is good but just shy of being SO GOOD that I end up with another 4.0

Even the article on tool kits was very informative, among a few gems in the issue.
