When I say that the Porsche 911 GT3/GT3 RS—particularly the 991 generation—makes one of the best sounds in the entire automotive kingdom, that's not brand loyalty talking.

Project 944 GTS: New Seats and Catching Up
Flatsixes readers haven't heard from Project 944 GTS in over a year, and in that time we haven't been wholly idle.

The 914-6 heat exchangers are an interesting design, using what amounts to an equal length header system winding through a stamped steel covering to provide heat for the car.
