False grid. Road Atlanta. Right up front... Gene Crowe driving

I’m really not trying to change your mind. I’m simply supporting Alan’s assertion - “with the caveat that “the truth” can depend on your point of view...” Pete Brock’s ‘truth’ is that he discovered and solved the problem. I’d guess that he is really firm in his belief that is truth. Reality which is absolute, is that Nissan was already aware and working on it. Religion has attributed the meaning of reality to truth. In fact, each of your blind men was describing their truth. It may not be reality, in fact, it isn’t, but each of them believes they have truthfully described an elephant. It is their truth. Not trying to be difficult, but this is what my PhD deals with. Alan is right. The truth depends on where you’re standing in many cases...

Well, you’re wrong. A lady hears a disturbance and sees and sees a man run out of a shop. Later, she tells the police that the man was Asian, he had spiked hair and a dragon tattoo on his neck. The police listen but don’t write anything down because the owner of the shop had told them the perpetrator ran out the back. Not the front. Turns out, the Asian man was a customer. Was the lady telling the truth? Of course she was. She believes in what she saw from her perspective. She’d pass a lie detector test too. There are as many truths as there are perspectives. Sometimes they even align with reality. What you are describing is reality. There is only one reality. As I said, reality and truth are brothers, but they aren’t twins...

Reality and truth are brothers, but they’re not twins... Brock can believe he solved a problem, while the engineers solved the problem. Reality is. Truth relies on perspective.

If it’s photoshop, they went to a lot of effort...

I’m hoping this one has been put out of its misery...

This picture was sent to me today by a Porsche friend. Yes, it’s from an advert for the 300ZX. But this pic is framed on his wall in his office. He’s the architect who designed the Thousand Oaks Public Library and the photo shoot for the ad was shot after the building was done on the outside. Tom got to be there for the photo shoot as he was the architect for the building.

Brilliant!

You know of course that if your VIN starts in 914 you have a car worth close to and sometimes well over 6 figures right?

Dennis, that’s actually a Type I VW motor, not a Type IV 914 motor but you’re right. I’m so glad mine is a 6. It is rock-solid dependable and so easy to own. My old 4 cylinder 914’s were a nightmare!

Trying to remember but I’m thinking Road America...

Constantly worrying about the damned Porsche engine while my wife just dreams about the Z!

Your A:F isn’t rich. Quit saying that. You’re making me nervous for your motor. You should be in the 13.5 - 14.0 range until you’re approaching WOT. Then go richer. 12.5 - 13.5. your injectors are fat as f***! Green Giants might be a better option.

Not for Austin Hoke’s Kit... but point taken.

Road Atlanta Pace Car...

This one will require a landscape crew to save...

Found this on Phil’s 240Z Registry on Facebook.

Is it possible the are reporting the XTR weight based on rotating mass? Like with the clutch and pressure plate attached?

A little more complete picture. Delaware?
