Chief instructor from a local BMW club called and needed instructors. I really dont like to turn down free track time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) so my friend and I drove up for the day.. My 914 stayed home and took a break.... so

heres a lap at Lime Rock in a 2004 Porsche 935. I know they havent made 935s' for about 20 years, but this is the beast we built. video just cant capture the sensation..

ENJOY

How much boost you running with that turbo? Doesnt sound like it fully spools up... (ie you can still hear the turbo under full accell..

Very nice! I'd love to see more...

Andy, his "coasting" was because if he gave it more throttle, and allowed the boost to come on he would have gotten very tail happy... Turbo's will just spin like a top when the boost comes on durring a high G corner..... lol, just watch me! (or dad... He'll be in fresno tomorrow... I got work... Grrrrrrrrrr)
