    So, is it made by Fuchs? That's their logo.

    Nope. The Fuchs Logo is way different. The manufacturer of the Wing is Turnwald in France. I am not sure if it is the same company configuration like in those days.

    1st - Porsche 993 Turbo
    2nd - Acura NSX
    3rd - Ferrari F355

    There was also a Lotus Esprit S4S in 5th and a Dodge Viper in 4th.

    Funny, on the Ferrari one of "Lows" they had listed was the "Fifties vintage shifter." Oh how times have changed.

    That was a great issue!

    Well actually in my opinion times haven't changed. Manuals are vintage shifting. Lol

    Maybe in a way, but certainly today magazines would heap praise upon any sports car that includes a manual transmission, and probably have a meltdown over any Ferrari that brought back the gated shifter.

    Agreed.
    But if you want to go fast it's gotta be dual clutch etc...

    How much faster would a viper acr been around vir. I think somewhere said it was several seconds. (might have even been 4)

    There will always be faster cars, but last time I checked there are plenty of manual transmission cars with over 500-600 horsepower to drive if you want to go fast.

    To me, the idea of timing lap times around tracks as if we are professional racing drivers competing for a championship is pretty pointless. Yes, it is proof of what the cars can do, but for 99% of us enthusiasts, cars are for having fun, not setting records.

    The 993 Carrera RS Clubsport was included in Best Motoring's 1995 "Super Battle" race, which included competitors such as, yes, a McLaren F1...
