911 & Porsche World Issue 252 March 2015

We're going big on modified 996s in this latest issue, with two reader modded cars, that we've pitched against our Project 996 GT3.
Elsewhere in the March issue we ask - why would anyone have an MX5, when for the same money you could have a Boxster? We've also driven a great backdated Carrera 3.2. No it's not your usual '73 RS clone, but a '74 Carrera 2.7 lookalike. Makes a lot of sense to us. For the full contents list read on:
