Eventually...
I do not think the mountain road pictured earlier was as bad as you insist (certainly there are patches of the 101 which I would be more careful on), an XK120 has only half an inch more ground clearance than a GT3RS. Also I still maintain that a gravel trap or high curb poses more of a threat to your GT3RS than a country road. "If you've never been off track in your racing career, you're not pushing hard enough." Plenty of tire walls and plenty of hay bales have welcomed GT3s and XKs driven to the edge (by much better drivers than you or I).
Of course there is a difference between a track day and really, truly racing.
Even, I suppose, the gentleman's sort of "racing" done now in vintage machines. I will still do a cross country rally, and not all of the roads are track smooth (or even properly paved).
Cheers
Show us some special exhausts!
Here is my attempt: Made by Heico. Quite agressive coupled with the air diffusor! Show us what you have in stock! Best, Nicolas...
In the good old days ..
I could tell the difference of the engine by the exhaust ... CRX 1.6 Vtec 150 hp CRX 1.6-16 130hp When AMG's were equipped with double instead of quadruple exhausts ... E55 non compressor 354 hp 1934 AM Mark II Swwwwwweet :-) Ducati Streetfighter standard...
You didn't disappoint me, Filip. Wow!
The " Toyobaru "... That's a great one! :) Best, my friend. Nicolas
Nice post, Bim...
Rumour was that Tamburini used the NR750 under seat exhausts as the basis for the 916 styling. Maybe I should post some more squiggly Titanium things for engines that don't spend 1/2 their time wasting power ...:-)
I like the GT3...

Great Post, Bimb. Xtype, if you would drive a GT3RS on the road
you picture, please remind me never to let you drive my car(s)! :-) Seriously, the clearance of the GT3RS would have some serious problems with that road... Cheers, TM
3.5in, Oh but Thomas...
...that front splitter is easily changed in under 5 minutes on a GT3, and the owner of the RS in Bim's photo may well have known that, given the road that he is photographed on. After all, you cannot do much worse than a high curb or gravel trap at a trac...
Believe me, I am very familiar...
with the clearance of the GT3RS. "...that front splitter is easily changed in under 5 minutes on a GT3" It's a little more than 5 minutes, but yes, Porsche designed the lower skirt as a replaceable part. , "After all, you cannot do much worse than a high ...

methinks this discussion has run its course.
Hi, xtype, It's all good. My original post to you had a "smiley" attached, which was intended to mean a little tongue in cheek. Yes, I agree that original picture you posted was not that bad, though personally I'd be a bit uncomfortable with so much loose...
two of mine
I pulled this one out from behind the barn for you. No, I did not bother to brush off the cobwebs and pine needles. You don’t see that set of Italian pipes every day. Hindsight? Shoulda bought the LM002. This one sees a lot more use on the ranch. Stainles...
First picture ..
.. is that a Range Rover V8 ? Funnily enough i saw a LM-002 last week :-) Filip
The first picture is actually a supercharged Ford V8.

That is the one which impressed me the most, in my driver's life.
Just superb! What a style! Best, Dave. Nicolas
Sold her a year ago...
Sold her a year ago after 20 years for something more modern. I have some regrets.
Beautiful work of art
I can understand the regrets. They don't build good stuff like those anymore these days. Richard
The Best.

I had a Borla catback exhaust on my former Subari Impreza WRX STI hatchback
It wasn't too loud but definitely louder than the stock STI exhaust. It have the small 4 cylinder boxer engine a nice little deep rumble. Cheers, Anthony ...
I didn't mod anything except the exhaust
because I'm not really into mod'ing cars at all. Not my cup of tea to do so. - AT
I can understand you point. Thanks, Anthony.
But I guess that the melody of the engine was enhanced... Best, Nicolas
Here are a few...can you name them?
Love the bluing inside the tips! So simple, so pure...so unique... Always look up! Gear head porn! aaaaaahhhhhhh.... and finally, sometimes, what's not shown is even more seductive... ...
Luv em! Very cool!
The original Zero is going to be on exhibition at a museum next year, if you visit the US (good excuse to schedule a trip? :-) ) let me know and I'll give you more details. You have great taste in cars even since a young age, obviously... :-) Cheers, TM
Filip, this is an invitation you cannot refuse!
You cannot refuse anything to the L.A Gang... ;) Best, Nicolas.
flame spitting sebring
i purchased the exhaust from karmann konnection in the uk and installed it on my '58 speedster. turn up your speakers and watch the video here: KTF porsche brothers. rich
Some favourites ...
I have posted these before in various Automotive Forum posts, but this is a great thread, and I love exhausts, partly because I spend so much time looking at them in traffic. Andrew ...
