Yes. Bought and read it yesterday.
More spectacular would have been an early, carburetted LHD car in Inka, Colorado, Golf or Taiga.

3.0 CSL carburettor Inka
Great story in C&S.
There are also CSL's in the German magazin Motor Klassik. In the magazin nr 11 of 2007 there's a extensive story about a Inka 3.0CSL carburettor 1972 s/n 2211723, a beautiful car.
Another story is in magazin nr 1 2009 about a comparisation between a yellow 3.0 CSL injection, Ford Capri RS2600 and a Porsche carrera RS. Indeed a spectacular story!

Talking about coupe coverage in magazines --- does anyone know what issue :confused: of “Road & Track” was the one that Sam Posey wrote about trying to keep up Hans Stuck in the factory race cars ? That issue was some 30 plus years ago so I know I’m asking for a lot on this one. Thanks :-D ~ John Buchtenkirch
Why was I gripping the arms of my chair so tightly while I watched Stuck take that lap? Wow!

Going around the Ring
Also a good driver!!--and seems to know the Ring pretty well--maybe almost as well as the "Queen of the Ring"--the one who drives the fastest taxi in the world--as she scares her paying passengers silly--in her M-5 !!

Still, interesting question: When it comes to the ring in a BMW, Stuck and Schmitz both are very much in a class of their own. I wonder who would actually be quicker...

Quickest around the 'Ring, funny you should ask...
Was killing time and read a recent car mag article (R&T? Car & Driver?) about what type of driver is fastest: F1, Nascar, Tourring car or Rally?
Well, a new production car lap record arounf the Ring has been set by a former WRC Rally driver (Fininsh of course!) in a Subaru STI. Ready for this.....a 7:55!!
The interview stated the Fininsh driver had only done 15-20 laps of the 'Ring in his life, and it was the weekend of the test. 10 or so laps to learn/feel the course, then 10 or so to learn/master the new car he had never driver before.....sheesh!, cajones grandes!
...now I am gonna kick my son off the video game...soon I hope to get that '66 427 Cobra (my flying brick!) under a 9:30! maybe a proper wheel instead of a joystick will help! Its hilarious banging doors around the Ring in two vintage Cobras with an 8yr old!
Ok everyone , back to work now....;-)
Happy Friday
