Two big problems with the T1 still:
- no throughbolts!!! Great, the case is aluminum, but it's still supported
by wimpy threaded studs.  T4 and 911 have throughbolts; T1 doesn't.  I think
it's a shame that Autolinea didn't incorporate this change... it'd make a
big difference.
- the heads of a T4 cool FAR better than those of a T1.  Our cylinders can
help drop the temps a lot, and can make a high performance T1 not
thermally-overloaded.  Then again, on a T4, then can make them run even
cooler.

Take care,
