I can't imagine asking my wife to run out and get a Porsche magazine. Some people lead a charmed life.

cheers! ... I'll check ... worth a read ...

I had a mk I GT3 CS when I was back in the UK, it will be interesting to see how
they compare to the 997's ... I should imagine they will ding the brakes, the
mk I's were crap (350mm 4 piston up front, same as the 996 TT) ...

Great Article - that issue has both a comparison test of GT3's as well as a single test (different car) in it.... best articles I have seen on GT3's so far - EVO Magazine's last article on their car of the year is also great (GT3 won number 2)... cannot wait to get my hand's on later in 2010!!

PS: They must be working together with the German Auto Bild as this video has the same car's as in the magazine....

Haven't got it yet, it always take a few weeks longer to get the euro magazines over to the US. Even with a supscription.
