Here is a segment of video of the 916 chasing Chris Foley's 914 somewhere between Fontana and Deals Gap. A second video is at post #30
The wind noise was awful so I filtered it quite a bit and reduced the volume. If you listen closely, you can hear the engine at certain points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOzcRp4lUsE And here is a picture I took of several 914s and the 916 going round a curve at low speed.

Glad no oncomming traffic. I would think at that speed the 916 would handle well enough to stay in its lane.

As a matter of fact, the 916 was shod with well aged vintage tires and was not up to the level of cornering of the lead car which had g Force radials. The speed was subsantial, even though it may not be fully apparent from the video. |

Not necessarily a handling problem jetboy - That's called using the whole road to pick your line apex-to-apex - although not generally advisable on an active two-way roadway, as shown by the oncoming traffic at the end of the clip! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Who's 916 was that? ... Dr. George's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... remind him that this is 914 world - not 916 world, which is a much smaller club! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

John (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) The car has a warmed over 1.7L with Delortos. The engine pulls strong to at least 6200 rpm. I haven't found red line yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The front suspension has stock torsion bars and a stock anti-sway bar. The rear has 100 lb springs and a stock anti-sway bar. The tires are 205-60 Touring BFGs on Fuchs 4 bolt wheels. The 916 has an awesome sounding mechanically injected six (2.4S?, 2.7Carrera?). |

QUOTE(Tom_T @ Oct 18 2010, 01:53 AM) Yes, George was driving his 916 (which has a unique 914 vin by the way) and rather spiritedly to boot. poorsche914 was riding shotgun with George. |

Mayhaps I am a killjoy....
Crossing the double yellows on an active 2 lane road to cut across rather blind corners is inexcusable. If the car could not hold pace due to old tires, the driver should have slowed down to a pace that could be maintained. Zach |

You have to keep in mind that from the far LH side of the car those curves your perceive to be blind probably are not so.

Steve, post more video!!!!!!
Saturday was one of the greatest days of my life. Luck of the draw put me directly behind George (in an Audi A4Q) on the drive to Fontana Village and the Dragon after lunch. All of my prior experience with the 916 was looking through the glass into the "Museum" at Auto Atlanta and here was history unfolding right in front of me. I was honored to be able to see first hand a 916 being used as it was meant to be used. I must admit that during the drive there was a nagging thought in the back of my mind of the eternal "Infamy" that would follow my name if one of those 40 year old XWX's blew out and I collected the 916. Thanks again, George, for making the MUSR 11 really special and thanks again for lunch! By the way, Zach, there was enough visibility forward to see on comming traffic when George made the road wider.

Wish we could have been there, as was my original intention, so I am making plans for next year. Would have been great to have seen the 916 etc. So I will have to come up to Atlanta (from S.C.) sometime soon and see it in slow-motion instead! Phil |
