waiting for the holiday "special"!!!

Modena 1

Me too. I am very intrigued.

Also. Isn't the diff between pasm of a .1 or .2 just software and springs shocks anyway?

I have to imagine there is a better system than both (motons) so the argument that one chassis is better than the other?

Is it really the slightly wider rear of an rs?

2 for 1?

Yes the pistons are lighter in than in the 3.6 and agreed! Snowboarder would also say the same based on driving all this stuff. They're almost different sub species but very obviously related

anyone in the bay area know where to pick up this issue. Barnes and Noble at Hillside and Tanforan do not have it and not sure if or when they will get it in

Yoops Racing

This would be my dream GT3 ....

Sonofabitch! I just bought a bunch of Total 911 back issues and didn't even realize this 'new issue' was available. My credit card company thought someone was committing fraud on my account with a UK-based order too!

I haven't seen it but my mum got it in the UK... I'm guessing it should be here soon?
Thanks mate... it's not a bad way to spend a few hours driving I can tell ya that!
Hah that's how I found out too because they mentioned it in the earlier ones

This might keep you entertained... a story soon for EVO Magazine (yep.. shut down a canyon and then anything can happen):

3.9 vs 4.1; as many of you know I have driven my 3.9 for over 40k miles on my northen California roads that some refer to as the loop. These roads are very tight and have very rough surfaces, mostly 2nd and 3rd gear and extrodinarly demanding, trust me after driving the full loop, a total of 248 miles, I am one exhausted old man! I have also had extended miles in the 4.1, they are two different cars, the 3.9 is all you need for the slower tight driving on roads similar to mine, don't misunderstand they are both outstanding builds, however the 4.1 is a handful on my roads, more HP and almost too much tourqe for me, it makes way too much speed between turns on the short straights and one has to be aware of the speed generated. The 4.1 would be outstanding on a more open road with longer straights where you could actually optimize all the HP & trq, both motors are incredibly docile for daily driving on freeways and surface streets, I have driven both in Bay Area and LA traffic and they are a pleasure to drive under stop and go situations. As much as I love my 3.9 I would still love to have a 4.1 sitting in my garage but would never get rid of the 3.9. We'll see what the future holds😜 I'm not saying they are night & day different just different! They are both extrodinary drivers the 4.1 is more GT2ish!
