They just showed an in cockpit shot of a 916 cruising down the highway. It looked like a Tangerine?

yeah i was just cracking up. I put on my 959 desert racer shirt earlier and they just showed THAT car on the show. Good program!

916?

Wasn't that Brian Redman preparing for Targa Florio in a factory prepared 914-6? (with the top off... kinda hard to do in a 916)

Not if you have a can opener.

you are correct, i have the tape, it is an error. that is the footage from another race movie( can't remember the name off hand, i don't think it is the quick and the dead) it is him(redman) prparing for the 70 or 71 targa florio...

You know, for a guy that has driven some of the fastest race cars in the world you would think Alan could learn to pronounce Porsche correctly.

IT IS A TWO SYLLABLE WORD!!!!!! POR-SCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where can I buy a copy of the tape?

i taped it off speed a while ago.

I'd love to cut the roof off of a 916 though, and put a V-8 in there.

I saw the DVD for sale on ebay or you can order it from speed channel.

Here is the web site you can order the dvd from Vicotry by Design

I always chuckle when I hear him say "shassiss"

I thought he consistantly said both Porsche and Pors-che.

When he was showing one car, it got the two syllable.
Many cars or the race team got the single.

Kinda like I do it. I don't like to say Pors-che. Feels snooty.
Sometimes I do it anyway, when I want people to know it's a real Pors-che!

yeah you correct one person and then after that its always..." oh right POR-SCHE not porscha!" then you feel like a snob. :finger2:

I watched that as well last night. Another error I heard was whe Alan was talking about the 993 he said it had a 3.7 ltr motor. Besides the rare RS aren't all 993's 3.6 ltr.'s?
It's still a great documentary and I have been fortunate enough to meet Alan and he is one of the nicest car guys around.

Back to the car at hand... I'd love to know what engine they supplied in that "demonstrator" car. I'm guessing a 2.2S derivative with carbs or a 2.5 race motor of the day.

Lynne ordered this dvd for me for Chistmas!
