By sheer co-incidence, just watched a TV program called "Ultimate Sports Racing Cars" where Daytona Coupe came in 5th, Jaguar D Type 4th, Auto Union C type 3rd, GT40 2nd and top of the list - you guessed it: Porsche 917 which they called THE most awesome (and dangerous) machine ever produced. 1,000 bhp in an 800 kg chassis: faster than the F1 cars of the day. Emmerson Fittipaldi took his mother for a drive at over 200mph and she fainted!
One year later (1972) it was gone from Le Mans forever as they banned the 5 litre class.
That's probably why I wants one....
Awesome....
