Always been a fan on his car, ever since I saw it in Road and Track for 'best car for $15k' article....yes, his car was actually worth less than $15k in the not so distant past.

Very cool! voted for Jeff but I was really drawn to the Saxon. (Cortina)

Voted. Some really cool cars there.

VW-Porsche 914 1.7 1971

Done.

Is the Rothmans 961 a little over the top?

Rothmans Porsche 961. Must....hold....back......

voted for the teener

Sorry, but I'm a race fan at heart. Le Mans especially.

961 won out for me...

Jeff has plenty of other cars that would have been better. His road legal Carrera 6 springs to mind.

I hear you about the 961 and being a Le Mans fan. The 961 is great to look at and really advanced.

BUT from a racing standpoint @ Le Mans:

1970 Le Mans, Porsche 914, first in class, SIXTH overall

1986 Le Mans, Porsche 961, first in class, SEVENTH Overall

Voted...damn there are some nice rides on there though! If I wasn't totally 914 biased...

Lets see...How many finishers were there in 1970? That's right...SEVEN!

The 914-6 that won it's class was indeed a hell of a car... Top 85% finisher in that particular event.

However, the 961 was a top 36% finisher in 1986...against much faster cars. 7th overall OUT OF 19 classified finishers.

Had Jeff's 914 been THE class winner from 1970, that may have swayed my vote Zwartward.

BTW: I LOVE the cage in his car....that's how a cage should look, going into the dash and not intruding on the cabin much. Anyone know where he got his done or the design?
