Reminds me of the drive we all did once on the old hwy 1 in Baja.....my 2.0 was not exactly as thrilling, but the twisties were similar and I shot flames out of my exhaust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Ask SLITS, he was there.

I need a valume after that video,YIKES!

So for the innexperienced in the crowd... what type of engine setup is in something like those cars? Are they mod'd 914/6 or something entirely different?

The 914.6GT (if this car is trying to be period-correct) was more like a slightly detuned 906 than a modded 914/6. approximately 210HP with the usual factory tricks, but single ignition. 46mm Webers. Redline somewhere in the 8000 rpm range.

I agree, although its weird, that's the third or fourth in-car racing video with that particular song in it (did it come from the Spinout or Speedway soundtrack?).

Oh well, it beats all the IDPA/IPSC videos that use that stupid "let the bodies hit the floor" song.

Actually, the good Dr. Evil found out early on that his handwriting was much too good to be a medical doctor. When that happens you have two choices... start writing left handed (right handed for lefties of course) or spell worse to compensate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Great videos, but it's really hard to get a sense of the speed without the inertial effects. It looks fast, but I'm sure if I was in the car, I'd realize that it's even faster than it looks! As far as music goes, there's a WRC compilation video from I think 2002 or 2003 that uses Linkin Park's "In the End" for the music. It's synced to the music pretty well, and is still one of my favorites. To this day I still drive faster when that song comes on the radio... It's going to get me in trouble one of these days. That video got me interested in Rally to the point of going to a rally school. I almost started building a rally car, but got into 914s instead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

GREAT videos!

I like the one johannes picked out . . . I can't get over all of the people standing around the start area--and at the turns, walls, etc., etc. Pretty sure we wouldn't see anything like that here.

I have to agree with Sir Andy. You have to have massive balls to do something like that. If you make just a very small mistake that could be the last one you make. Awesome video!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

2,0 liters

However, the 914.6 that Hurley Haywood drove to a win at the 1998 Monterey Historics "Tribute to Porsche 50th Anniv" was a 2,9 built on an original 2,0 case, so the real answer is probably "Two-ish" liters ;-)

Most are 2ish. I was at that race and there was griping all around about what was in the cars. "Most" had at least been upgraded to 2.5 to meet new class rules later in life.

After I watched the first vid, this one came up. An unbelievable 914 crash with lots of air. Watch the backgroud in the first few seconds.
