If I got a Porsche 917 replica.....

[Johan]

Could it race at the Monterey Historics ? It is powered by a small block Chevy. I just keep picturing being on outside pole position and dive bombing into the corkscrew with a Ferrari 512s in hot pursuit as I take the lead away from Briam Redman in his old 908. Should I get back to work now ? Yes !

It was strangely a 917 that led me to this forum, what a car.
Still would like to use a Boxster S as the Donor for a replica of a 917, you get quite a few front ended ones turn up over here.

One day

They came with several great paint schemes other than the typical Gulf paint...

Joe, I clicked on your link but I expected it to take me to www.zoospeed.com/sec_racers.html

 

[Joe T]

I want one!! Although Fran has already pointed out I wouldnt fit in an original one!!

 

[Johan]

Have 6" taken out of your shins if that is all that is stopping you !

 

[Joe T]

I heard that if I did manage to fit in it, the first time I hit anything the leg modifcation you mentioned would be carried out for me courtesy of the accident.

No Funds are far bigger obstacle.
