The RX8 finished first second and third in
    the Alabama Rolex GT race. It appears Porsche
    has given up. Our federal tax payers racing
    team Government Motors Camaro finished fourth.
    I'll bet you did not know you owned a  road racing
    team :) If the French people can own one
    (Renault Form 1) we can too. :)

    handicap the Mazdas!!

    is a good friend from the ALMS when he was running Porches (but only
    back Porches) and P2s on Pirellis.

    Did you know that the RX8 is actually using an NSU Prinz vortex
    generator?  Is that an Unfair Disadvantage?  LOL

    I did not know that about the RX8 John. In fact I don't
    know what a NSU Prinz vortex generator really is :)

    BTW The NSU rotary was never installed in the Prinz.

Paul,

Below is a short history of NSU.  What I didn't realize is that NSU and
Toyota started out the same way:  making knitting machines.  But whereas
NSU was finally taken over by VW, Toyota still looms large  . . . so to
speak.

BTW, the vortex generators I was speaking of were an option that could
be attached to the roof of the brick-like Prinz to improve aero
stability at speeds "ober" 40 mph. LOL.

Some day I plan to have a Ro 80 with the personalized plate: Either/Or
jd

I don't get it.

The history is too much stuff John. Put it on your web site
and send us a link.
