If it were not for the 917 and the duels with the fabulous P series Ferraris and the ageing but legendary Ford GT40s of the early 70s I would not have been so stricken with the sportscar bug since the age of 6 years:)

AYE But lets not forget the LOLA T70's Witch once dominated Le Mans and Can Am

YES AND NO It ... ( 6 days ago by Detoyato)

YES AND NO It actually ran up to 39-40 PSI of boost during those 1560 HP Moments and that 1800 HP hes talking about could be due to overboost.

Yes, the 1100 hp ... ( 6 days ago by gcmc2)

Yes, the 1100 hp figure is the 917/30 as raced at 32 psi and the big power tests were at the higher boost. I was pointing out that it was the turbo can am cars that produced the huge figures and not the Euro coupes. Of course the cars were quite different and effectively a developement of the original 917- eventually with different mag. chassis and uprated transmission etc. Some of the developement found its way into the later interserie Euro spyders too which ran into the mid 70s in Europe.

I know they are ... ( 6 days ago by Detoyato)

I know they are very Different Although I still Prefer the Le Mans Version the sheer power of the Can Am 917's still gives me a chill down my spine just thinking about it!

Yes, I think I'd ... ( 6 days ago by gcmc2)

Yes, I think I'd choose an original 69 Euro Coupe too, given the chance but the dollar value of the can am cars would be huge these days due to rarity if nothing else. The 917 cars just showcased the brilliance of those engaged at Porsche in those days but, as is remarkably always evident, the world catches up quickly. Takes nothing away from the brilliance of the whole 917 show from start to finish though.

And then the Story ... ( 6 days ago by Detoyato)

And then the Story of the 917 ends as the story of the 935 "MOBY DICK" starts. Although modern cars could go around a track faster than the cars from the old they still cant beat them in a straight line.

Yes, the 936 ... ( 5 days ago by gcmc2)

Yes, the 936 continued the sports racer class really but the 935 did as you say kick off about the same time. (And take an outright Le mans victory of course) The can am 917s would likely still be hard to beat in a straight line appropriately geared but the 917 coupes would struggle - could possibly be reset to compete though. The late 80s early 90s sports racing cars were amazingly fast. Best 917 speed has been eclipsed by about 15mph and that's without the full straight to run any more.

It is poor comment ... ( 5 days ago by gcmc2)

It is poor comment but he's just a silly kid. For a kid, making a fool of yourself here is an achievement these days it seems. And yes, "Yahoo news" was his reference ! LMAO Most motoring magazines are severely short of expertise these days but internet motoring sites are just a complete joke ! I've never seen such ridiculous crap journalism and road tests by people who are so obviously nowhere near up to it. 917s are gorgeous things to look at. Including the pink pig as far as I'm concerned.

I wonder what ... ( 5 days ago by Detoyato)

I wonder what happened to Porsche Racing cars. Their Cars were king of the hill back then but now Those Chevrolet Corvettes and Audi R10 are the ones taking Victories.
