That tonneau cover flapping the whole time is ANNOYING!!!!! How can anyone concentrate on driving with that?

Check out the lexan windshield start to fold in right before the first wipe. Makes it look like he's going fast until the leaders pass him like he's in 1st gear

that 550 cant hit the apex to save his soul but it is faster than the other two cars.

That was cool...wonder what motor the 914 in the lead group (3rd place) was running....that sucker was FLYING wow. Makes me want to make a GT replica, haha.

HAAAAA, i was just going to post a link to this video!!

that 914 that blew by in the lead group won the race!! the 2nd place car spinning might have helped a little. this is the 914 on http://www.962.com/events/2004_Rensport2/index.htm?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=962&Category_Code=apparel#

did anyone look at the lap times? http://www.gorace.com/rennsport2/events.php are the results with the lap times. the winning 914 in the gmund cup race had a best lap time of 2:11. that would have put him into the top 10 in the salzburg cup race, against 944ts, 993s, 964s, 996s 930s, 3.3s, 3.4s, 3.6s and 3.8s!!! and i bet that 914 cost a little less than a 2001 996 3.4!!

talk about bang for your buck!!!

That video ROCKS!! That's the best in-car vid to be posted in a LONG TIME. Very fun to watch. Now that's my idea of weekend recreation. Good soundtrack too. Anyone know the artist/track?

As much as I like U2 (I forget the song), I would prefer all race sounds in this case....

This video came to me from one of my friends who's on the Early 911S Registry Bulletin Board http://d240157.u39.zeonhost.com/forum/

Pretty sure it's "Elevation" by U2. I liked the music - AFAIC, listening to engines on my computer speakers gets a bit tiring after a minute or two, but each to his own! There just isn't enough footage of 914s! Did they run TV spots in the 70s?
