so, as promised i got a call from miss Todt from Porsche Leipzig today, and here are the formalities for tuesdays CGT event:
we`ll meet up at 1 pm, optional i can have lunch there too for free if i´ll come earlier. i decided to go by plane because on tuesday early morning i have some work to do in the firm and i think i can leave at nine am. the airport in Leipzig is quite near to the Porsche facility, but no problem, Porsche`ll have a shuttle service.
that`s how the day`ll unfold:
after lunch we`ll see a presentation video regarding the facility and the CGT, a tour of the museum and a visit of the production facility, the rest of the time ( ~6 pm ) track activities with CGT, 996 GT2, 996 TT, 996 4S, 955 TT & S, because there`ll only be two CGT`s, so that no one is "bored" while waiting, we are able to test drive some 996`s and 955`s, not that bad either IMO...
in addition to the CGT ride, i`m definitely looking forward to test drive a 955 off road, i think this`ll be quite fun
the pictures issue is as follows, i´m allowed to take my digi-cam with me, but i´ll have to show all the pics to a Porsche official first and i´ll have to name a purpose for the pics. taking pics at the production places is definitely prohibited.
so only FOUR days to go, i´m getting a bit nervous....

quite interesting comparison set up by "Motor Trend"
Porsche 955TT vs. 996TT X50, so both with 450hp:

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...he/index1.html

some interesting figures IMO, a ~5200 pound SUV does the 1/4 mile in less than 14sec and it only needs two feet more than the X50 from 60-0...

as i`ve always said, the Cayenne is just unbelievable...and not only for a SUV...

TWO days to go...

If I was on the run in a CGT I'd head for the mediterranean region. Better weather, better roads and in Monte Carlo nobody will think you stole it.

- new spy pics 987 Boxter Coupe and 997 -








a german car mag called “Autozeitung” set up a comparison 360CS vs. GT3 RS



0-100kmh:
CS: 4.2sec.
RS: 4.6sec.

0-120kmh:
CS: 6.2sec
RS: 5.4sec.

lap times:
CS: 1.39:9
RS: 1.39:3

the RS is superiour in overall handling but the CS looks and sounds better concerning to the editor.
but we`ve to wait untill “Sport Auto” is going to publish its test to know exactely…

:arrow: NOTE: i think the CGT report`ll be finished in a couple of hours, the pics too, we ( jabba & I ) may need a bit longer with the vids...
