I was given a stash of old magazines and in the box was a Road and track issue that did a write up on the 72 916. First imported by Peter Gregg of Brumos Porsche, I do believe this is the car George "the hussler" Hussey currently owns.
I dont know if this has been posted before, I did do a brief search. Enjoy! |

Re: weight - Does the 916 have the fiberglass lids front/rear? I know it has the fiberglass bumper that HAVE to save a lot of weight. It would be interesting to have someone with a real 916 put it on the scales and weigh it, a nice bonus would be a chassis dyno just to see what it puts on the ground! |

I know [the 916] has the fiberglass bumper that HAVE to save a lot of weight. Not over the stock 72 bumpers, they don't. The early bumpers don't weigh a whole lot--you're thinking of the 75+ bumpers, which are quite heavy. I don't know what the FG 916 bumper weighs versus the stock 70-72 bumper, but I bet the difference isn't that huge. --DD |
