[QUOTE="Recon, post: 15655160, member: 181287"] Sorry, should've build upon this. Phone died and I was using safari; back up phone is old and doesn't like the more modern apps. I've never seen one in person ( my father had the privilege to see them in action at a Can Am reunion), but I've watched many many many videos and read numerous articles about this outrageous race car. Doesn't help I have a soft spot for Porsche. Some know about the Can-Am racing series. To sum it up in one sentence... Run what you brung. Very little rules of the series, none on engine restrictions. Now numbers, some is speculation others are legit facts. Car's weight 18XX LBS (without fuel), power is 1100-1800hp, 0-200 in under 11 seconds, top speed is 240+, 100 is achievable in first gear, 6 exist (one built later with spare parts). 0-60 and 0-100 times vary, depends on who you ask/article read. This is also with 1973 Technology and a 4 speed transmission; keep in mind this is a road course car not a drag racer. Several people stated the car has bad turbo lag as well, its nicknamed Turbo Panzer. Porsche said their Turbo cars didn't need the 5 speed the N/A cars had; also applies to the 911 until 89. It won all but one of the races for the 73 season. Mark Donohue made a comment about the car, "it's the only car I've driven over 200 and still be able to spin the tires." Keep in mind he also helped develop the car. Several professional racing drivers drove the car and refused to get back in the car because they were scared of it. Needless to say Mark was said to be the only person to be able to drive the car anywhere close to it's potential. Basically, I want it because it's insane and I like the "it genuinely wants to kill you" persona the car has. I like the look as well. [ATTACH=full]95566[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
