RE: [ISTA] Synoma vs. Syclone Last night

If this post came from anyone but Roby, I would have my doubts. Roby knows
what a good running Syclone feels and drives like. People that have been on
the list for awhile remember the Syclone #811 v. 911 story. That was
probably the best race story I've heard. (Guy Lavy had a pretty good Viper
story though.)

I've learned about Deltagates, alternative IC pumps, and thermal exhaust
wraps from Roby. FWIW, don't use the exhaust wraps. Ask Roby if you want to
know more.

Later.
