A 917 in whatever configuration is still and only a real 917. Nothing else will compare to this old race car. I have never driven a real one and dont ever expect to. I have driven a recently completed LMK which I have pushed personally beyond 170 mph during setup. I can say that new school technology will prevail in stopping power and road handling ability BUT a 500HP Twin Turbo flat six will never match a 5 liter flat 12. Different animals.

A Lazer is a farce of an automobile. Enough said.

Back in the late 70s I went over to a place by Minneapolis to the place that made these kits. They also made a kit to put a tilt front end on a 78 chevy truck that was Mack truckish. I got the book to build one because I was going to put one together after looking at the build book I changed my mind.

I was looking at a 917 yesterday when this British chap climbed in and started up the engine.

The 917 was this nice shade of blue with an orange stripe with the number 20 on the door.

I wonder if it was a REAL Porsche 917?

In my opinion the Porsche 917-30 CAN-AM beast is the baddest assed porsche EVER....not even close...sorry. I've never seen another car that can change my pulse as fast when it starts....and I've never even sat in one....I have had my hand on the body work when one started up however....it's life changing.....IMHO......and that wannabe piece of shit isn't even the sloughed skin of the soiled ass of a real 917.

I don't know what people bitch about.

The Lazer 917 makes a Great Race Car - if you're racing a Pinto (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

24 Hours of Lemons starts it's 2010 season next weekend at Phoenix, Az. The perfect antidote to all the cars at Barret-Jackson and the other auctions!

Built one of these kits when I was in high school. Great fun! Uses VW pan and Type 4 engine. Must say that it really wasn't fun to drive...consistently. In retrospect it was a great challenge to my problem-solving and fabrication skills. Engineered 4 Cadillac window motors to raise and lower gull-wing doors! Finally traded it for a motorcycle. Wow...good times!

There's a 917 kit on Ebay with a Ford V8 mounted in the rear. Look at the custom Air cleaner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
