“Do you folks have a towel?”
It’s going to be funny when they walk all over the fiats this year

I want a drink button.
If I could afford it, I would…
On topic though, Fiat is a main competitor to this?? I haven’t done my HW so this question is based purely off that post but what kind of numbers are Fiats throwing down in comparison to this?
It’s a jab at Ferrari and the 430, Fiat owns something like 56% of Ferrari. Pretty common knowledge on the racing forum I am on, I forgot that most people wouldn’t understand it.
I’m really curious as to what the motor does unrestricted. 4L with a 9400rpm limit and some aggressive cams/management? I know the OLD 996RSR’s did 450whp unrestricted, and Brumos was claiming over 560whp with the last gen RSR unrestricted when they were doing some testing in Mexico. (Maybe Mexican HP are different than normal ones). Still a good evolution, interesting to see them adding Air Conditioning back into the race cars.

customers directly by the Porsche logistics company, Kroll USA (Michael
Knauthe).
**The prices listed are f.o.b. Stuttgart, Germany plus California Sales Tax (if applicable).
Supposedly the RSR is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost of some of the alternatives (M3 GTR, Vette, 430, etc). I’ve also heard from certain people that they’ve picked RSR’s up at the factory on dealer plates, taken them down the autobahn and loaded them into trucks and containered them back to avoid the $33k~ shipping fee from Porsche/lufthansa. The real deals are to be had on '09 cup cars right now, supposedly they’ve sold less than 15 of the 60 US allocations.
and back home !!!
