Here is an interesting comparison between Racer Chris's car and the 916.
This is the same curve with both cars traveling the same speed. Pictures were taken within moments of each other as we passed by the photographer.

In all the pics the 916 is flat in any turn. Looks like a Sunday drive at sppeeed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Not a fair comparison. the 916 is coming out of the corner and Chris's car is entering or mid corner. The 916 has almost settled back down where the white car has just started to flatten back out.

Better weight distribution in the 916 as well with 2 people of similar weight as opposed to one person in Chris's car.

Look at the series of photos on the web site. Throughout the curve, the 916 is flat.
Hot_shoe may have a point with more even weight distribution with two passengers vs one. But would it make that much of a difference? I believe Chris said his 914 has stock sways front and rear. Not sure about springs or what exactly the 916 has.

I don't know what George did but at most of those photo locations I would slow down, drive straight into the camera, then turn and accelerate.
I think between my driving style, the fairly soft suspension, and the lack of a passenger, my car definitely leaned more in righthand turns.
Look closely at me in the first turn in the first video. The right side of the car is jacked way up. I was pretty much using everything the car had in that turn.

your just being polite.
George has gotten lazy with his ford gt...he can power out of anything with that..

He just plain forgot how to drive a 914 to its limit....or he is getting to old to do it right... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

It wasn't too exciting once we got stuck behind traffic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Earlier in the run, there were actually a couple times when the back end of the 916 cut loose. Watch the first video closely and you will see one of those times. With proper tires mounted... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I have never ridden with someone who actually had the experience driving one of these cars at its limit - until this ride. I can't say if George was driving at 9/10ths or 3/10ths but, for me, it was an absolute blast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Cool. Much tamer driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Whose 914 was the camera in? Inside the car is definitely the place to put the camera - no wind noise, picks up the engine sounds, and voices are muted. Wish I'd done it that way for the 916 videos.

JT has a big six with Supertrapps and a rear spoiler. The exterior is dark blue.
He had his own camera setup, not Gopro.

Ken, I watched your videos from before the event in the 911. You had some good open road to play with then.

Hey Chris,

We did have some really open spots back in Sept. on both the Dragon and Cherahala.

I was in my 914 tho not a 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...Shoe was driving a Boxster and we had another friend along in his M3. Steven used a us129 photo from then to do up the generic poster car..

I'm guessing ScottyB and Shoe both have good GoPro video to post from MUSR??

I wasn't sure. I didn't look at your dash at the event, so I didn't equate the 5 gauges with a 914. The wide angle lens of the camera makes the windshield look curved more like a 911 too.
I did notice the Boxster both in front of and behind you.

I don't know why the video started breaking up like it did. Viewing straight from the memory device on the computer it doesn't do that. It must be my crappy video card in the lap top....need to get a better computer......I was going to post the youtube video but it was not as good of quailty as I demand......Thanks for putting it up though Chris.....

Seeing the 916 in action is crazy cool! There are very few people who would be brave enough to take such a rare car out on the road so here is to George. I just wish that I could have seen it in person. Thanks for posting the videos.
