it´s even more special it´s an ultra rare 3.8RS...
i´ve talked about WR some time ago, i think in "Pn", but well, of course i´ve met him quite often, mainly at the EZW, Leipzig and of course at the NS...
there isn´t much to say about Walter, IMO he´s just the perfect guy to adjust and develope a car, he´s extremely professional and even has a very very detailed knowledge about the technical side, of course he´s unbeaten at driving....
i´ve worked with quite some well known ppl in automotive engineering, especially during my time at Magna, but Walter´s just a unique person...
IMO the only person who´s very close to Walter is Roland Kussmaul, unfortunately he isn´t that well known, but he´s definitely my personal idol, he´s more the technician, but is also an extremely skilled driver, quite close to Walter, he´s chief engineer and chief test driver from Porsche, works at the EZW, has been the Carrera GT´s, GT3´s and GT1´s technical project manager and the two are just the perfect symbiosis when designing and building a car...

wow that gemballa looks extremely mean, but I would have to agree with gucom, I don´t really like the interior. It is too much for my taste.

looks fine, although I am no fan of tuned cars, especially when it comes to more exotic kind, but this car appears to have some quality modifications and the interior looks well made, not too bad, overall its a cool car, but not as cool as GT3 RS or 996 turbo, the design of standard cars is a little more neat, precise ...

I posted a link to a website that has PDF files of a variety of early magazine articles about early 911's 1960-1980's) and some 1970's Porsche racing articles. The link is http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10691

Thx for the nice scans, certainly an article that I'm going to read asap.
Not hard to know who they'll prefer however...
by the way, a bit late response: I don't like the looks of the Gembella, the alloy wheels are nice but the rest is overdone IMO.
EDIT: spoiler warning
:shock: skid - slide - smoke - Shock - horror :shock:
Jeremy prefers the SLR...
*moment of silence*
I may find JC biased from time to time and I didn't care too much that he liked the DB7 much more then the 360. But this... I can't ignore. Both the SLR & CGT are German cars so the biased factor isn't in the comparison now!
I thought the lap times would be more different though, thought the CGT would nail the SLR with about 3-4 seconds. SLR something like 1:24 CGT 1:20. No, only a second difference...
Still don't like the fact that the SLR has an auto gearbox, but then again, the CGT's clutch seems to be problematic...
I'm very glad that I've read this review (bit mixed up though ), can't wait for the video!
