Porsche's booklet on preparing a 911 for competition?
Back in the '60's and '70's Porsche published a booklet on how to prepare your 911 for competition. I've often heard about these booklets but never seen a copy. Does anyone know what's in it?

Ask the R Gruppe gurus. It's like their Oracle!

Yes, John, I have one of the booklets prepared/dated in the fall of 1971 ... it included changes/updates for the '72 models' 915 transaxle!

hmmmm....any chance somebody will scan one of these and post it or is it too long? I'll buy a copy if a source comes forward.

Warren;
If your willing, you can scan it to me or fax it to me. I'll email my fax number. - John

that sounds pretty cool, I'd love to see it if someone gets around to distribution. Knowledge is always a good thing.
