Thanks, I figured the 959 was the only one that used the shotgun, small snail, large snail set up. Wasn't there another company that did that as well? Odd, I have 0-60 Magazine and I am looking at a Rauh Welt 993 Widebody, what at first appears to be a Turbo, but it has one huge Turbo, and I'm like the "the 993 had Twin Turbos...", so this must be a Carrera with a widebody shell on it.

What is funny, is to think how people will hook up our present BMWs in the future. Will we see E39 M5 CSLs, E82 1Ms with 600 hp and weigh 2,500 pounds?
