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 don't know what it puts on the ground, but I know what the exhaust sprayed on my hood and windshield while staying with it through the Tail of the Dragon. I don't have an expensive paint job, so I chock the clean up to the cost of the experience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
