QuoteKevinR-MedinaOhio I don't know what a good time is for the course, but it looked like a good run to my uneducated eyes. I was not happy to see that *almost* collision at the 6-minute mark. On a similar note, when I was at P2O last year, I saw a couple cars with the Nurburgring decal on them. Does this mean that the car and/or driver has been on the course? that is an extremely good time bby frogster - Main Forum
I'm not sure how many of you here remember Bruce from the ppbb.com days but he was very well known and respected in the porsche community and I thought that some of you may want to know that Bruce passed away a few days ago after 16 months of illness. His wife, Stephanie, posted this on his facebook page: QuoteThis is not a posting that I expected or wanted to post. Bruce passed suddenly aroundby frogster - Main Forum
QuoteKevinR-MedinaOhio I normally shift at 3k and never above 4.5k. never? seriously? sorry if this sounds offensive but why did you buy a porsche? these motors don't even come alive until 4k rpm and it's much harder on an engine to lug it than to rev it. i'm not saying that you have to wind it out to redline on every shift but "never" is a bit extreme.

Quotenewt My guess is that the different grip characteristics between front and rear axles caused or contributed to this spin. I have no experience with either of these tires but running different tires is not a good idea. fallacy. the tires that were on my car when it came from the factory were VERY different; 205 in front and 255 in back, you can't get much more difference than that. in counby frogster - Main Forum
at 4:44 i noticed a little throttle blip in what appears to have been a slowing down for a curve. it seemed very human, not something i thought a PDK box would do. anyone with a PDK care to comment?by frogster - Main Forum
you've got to admire someone with such dedication that they're ready to die competing Quote While trying to fend off an anticipated heart attack, he drove in a 200-mile race in 1960 with nitroglycerin pills underneath his tongue, finishing third at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey. "If I hadn't slowed down each time I popped one of those pills, I might have won," he said.by frogster - Main Forum

i know this is totally off-topic but the question of porsche building another model is related. look at what happened in the elections today in france; the right was soundly defeated and a socialist is now the president of france. similar thing in greece where the left swept the elections this is going to have a significant impact on the future of the euro and european "union."

i would venture a small wager that the number of M96 engines that have made it beyond 100k miles (150? 200?) is very small compared to the number that have failed due to IMS or RMS problems.by frogster - Main Forum
i was having a laugh about this pronunciation thing when i remembered watching tv in barcelona many years ago and an ad for vick's vapor rub came on. i couldn't believe how they pronounced that. it was beeks bapporroop i kid you not!!! and when i told the spanish people there with me how it was pronounced in "american" THEY laughed THEIR heads off!! so it goes both ways. it was a pretty funny eveby frogster - Main Forum
many, perhaps too many, of my friends are in finance big time. banks, hedge funds, insurance, etc. so we talk about the financial world all the time. i'm not good at explaining it tbut basically the numbers are not sustainable. too much debt, too leveraged and there's essentially no way out other than default. as we've seen in the past, a small collapse can snowball into bigger collapses due to oby frogster - Main Forum
that's why i wrote "remove tongue from cheek" in my post. this whole pronunciation this is ridiculous. i don't think it matters how you pronounce it. you are 100% correct. and this subject comes up on a regular basis on this forum and its predecessor i was only stating that the woman on that audio recording was trying to pronounce it "correctly" but that it wasn't "correct" if the definition oby frogster - Main Forum

i think porsche would be wise to hold off on this due to the inevitable european collapse.by frogster - Main Forum
…and then there's the correct way. and while you're at it, true, learn how to pronounce ee-kay-ah correctly too! \remove toungue from cheek but on a serious note, if your name were "jones" and you were in a spanish speaking country (e.g. california), and they said "ho-ness," wouldn't you correct them? it might not really matter how you pronounce porsche and i really don't give a shinola howby frogster - Main Forum
