3.4 90 deg V8 - 480bhp (with ALMS restrictor)
sequencial 6 box since this is a customer car, they kept the exotic materials to a minimum to reduce the cost of the car 750kg (appr. 1650#) Penske will run it for the 2006 ALMS season but the first outings will be on Road Atlanta (oct 1st) and Laguna Seca (Oct. 16th) I hope they made the right choice, cause LMP2 didn't look even close to being competible at LeMans last weekend... Sure looks nice I wouldn't mind having one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) There's a link on the porsche site... http://www3.us.porsche.com/usa/ Attached image(s) |

From what I recall, when there are decent teams in LMP2 they can challenge for the lead based on fuel economy, but not on outright pace.
As I understand it, they don't stand a chance on the shorter races, but if the race is over 4 hours, it's possible. |
