No way I could pass it up. Slot.it has made this summer a fun one IMHO :)

Those are both very nice. I don't have either yet, but they are on my list. Still waiting for the Pioneer Camaro's. :)

See Harry, its a hard car to take pics of. That white top just comes out so bright. Just a good reason to buy one so you can see it in person... :banana-rock:

I put my Lowenbrau car on the track today. The 65' mdf road course and after switching to the softer silver braids and truing the rear tires it is now one of my top three slot.Its on wood. It is Oh so very smooth to drive and a pleasure to look at. The only slightly negative comment I have concerns the placement of the radiators which look bent(crooked). Compared to some of my earlier 962s they seem to have reduced structure to save weight on the body. The car is a good three grams lighter than the earlier 962s at 68gms. I'm glad I added this car to my stable of Porsche 962s.

Where things like this might matter will this new IMSA 962 be legal to race in group c races? If so I think it should produce some winners.

We raced both cars tonite as well. What a hoot. Nice and smooth and fit right in. We are running them in Group C as a whole, but that is just us :)

From what I can see in the pictures, this is also the same year's winner of the Daytona 24hr. race. Possibly a slight change in the list of driver names. What I don't understand is why they marketed it as a second place car at Sebring instead of the winner at Daytona.
