It you want to get a taste of this car at The Ring, find a friend with iRacing. They released this car in the game over the winter. It’s a total blast. I wish I had a video of me driving it the first time. I think I was giggling the entire session.

8 seconds over 7+ minutes is nothing. A couple of degrees of temp difference or a slightly different tire compound is all it would take.

Points for measuring to the 100th.

If footage doesn’t put a lump in your stomach, something is wrong with you.

That console tray aside, the interior is in good shape. The fact that the seats aren’t fully cracked and dry rotted is pretty amazing. I’m guessing someone replaced the seat covers at some point. The 5+ cracks in the dash suggest the seats should have also be crusty.

NP all day long. Easiest car I have ever worked on. It is a wonder of German engineering. Imagine a car that include heavy consideration into maintenance in its design (I know, crazy, right). Any car where you can change brake pads with a lug wrench and a screw driver is a winner in my book. To date, the most amazing…

I did! Converted an 86 300SDL just like this one. It was fucking awesome! I was getting mileage from my job and driving around for basically free. I’d have to go back and look at my spreadsheets, but I recall being able to drive 500+ miles on a gallon of diesel (you need it to stop and start the car on diesel).

Well, they were obviously trying to save on shipping.

Those aren’t real cars. No one but Hertz and Enterprise bought the V6.

For one reason, the programming the schedule via the smartphone app is 1000x better than the poor UI in the device. And there’s the added benefit of knowing the moment your power goes out (or internet goes down at home)— you’ll get a “lost connection with your device” email from Honeywell within seconds.

This is my Saturday morning Go To thread about planning the rest of my weekend, Alanis. Thanks!

I’m trying to think of any type of projectile that a drone would stand a chance against. This is all I could come up with. And I’m really not THAT sure it would survive a shot from even this.

Wrong car for you then. The closest you can get with the ST is a little ‘lift oversteer.’ If you are on a hot track at a Porsche Club event, it’s ALWAYS about being as fast a possible.

Your speed at the apex was too slow. I’ve got about 20 track days under my belt in the ST. When it’s being driven right, it doesn’t spin the wheels out of a turn. Unless of course, you were driving some big turbo, track prepped Stage 3 ver.

No, the tow hook says I’d rather pay $100 now for a safe (AND FAST) way to pull my car off track if it has mechanical failure or goes off and gets stuck than $1500 for a new bumpercover when the tow strap rips it off pulling on the subframe.

Which club/track requires tow hooks for an otherwise road-legal car?

If the Haas-era rule change was in effect 6 years ago, I think this would have been a totally different story. They would have been able to build a car entirely made of other team’s “systems” rather than build them up from scratch.

You could put the Martini livery on a pile of shit and people will still put it on their F1 fantasy team.

If we aren’t getting a mini-concert and a flyover from Domino’s Pizza sponosored planes before each heat, I’m out.
