Porsche 911 Carrera (996.2)

READING OUR JETHRO BOVINGDON’S FAST Fleet reports on his 996.1 Carrera provokes mixed feelings. On one hand there’s solidarity, but there’s also a slight rivalry, an arms race if you like around who can make the best wannabe GT3. And who can make the most progress.

Progress is a commodity distinctly lacking in my reports of late, while Jethro’s Arena Red wonder rapidly blossoms to fruition. He’ll update you further on his car next month, but over in the Gen 2 camp I’ve finally got something to report as well.
