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 |

QUOTE OK whatever blows your skirt up Sorry, I was unclear. I was not trying to making some point about the driving but the difficulty of getting fast speeds there, since hp really does not get you much. Even spec miatas turn 101s. All the extra hp makes it harder, I think, except for passing By the way, a friend (in spec miata) watched the video and wrote QUOTE But he has a nice line. Too bad he isn't racing anyone |
