Noticed a quote he mentioned?
Quote:
|
The GT1-derived block is now at its maximum possible bore (102.7mm), and that has meant inserting steel liners to retain strength.
|
Is that good or bad news? What are the pros and cons of using steel liners? Which 997 GT3 would you buy, Gen-1 or Gen-2?
Also, he mentioned that the pistons, despite being bigger, are now lighter. Does this mean pistons have been shortened and con rods lengthened?
