    I am wondering the same thing-- about the RS breakdown if you know what happened to it, Gnil.... tremendous pics, thanks!

    Interesting in pic #24 how much body lean the Exige S exhibits compared to the 997 cup car ahead of it.

    That's CarlosF' s Targa . Under bad conditions ( rain, snow, cold) it does great.. under dry and warm conditions it is too heavy . But CarlosF could answer you better.

    The quality of my pics are not good this time... I lost most quality through the upload process.. do not know why


    About the GT3 RS. It was a narly new car. At the end of the straight line it stoped and had to be towed back. I don't know what happened. No smoke, engine compartment open, so I guess the problem was in there... ?!

    The Exige needs other suspensions... one can improve it a lot with the proper settings.

    Great pictures Gnil, thanks a lot!

    I'm surprised to see I like the look of BBS LM's on a 997!
    Is there a big performance difference between your C4S and CarlosF's T4S?

    Yes those BBS look great !

    There is a difference with my -20mm, but then it was difficult to have a good comparison as CarlosF had Pirelli Corsa ( I had the standard Bridg) and he did not have the correct tyre pressure, making his car very slippery in the curves .
    So it was too hard to have a serious comparison.

    I wrote a comment about driving the targa 4s in november 2006. Now, after having driven the targa 4S two times on the track (once under snowy weather, once under sunny weather), I would not change a word in this comment.
    If you want to read it, click here . BTW, the key issue I mentioned in this thread have been solved by a new programming.
