    porsche 917k

    Hi everybody,
    I saw "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen and I was very surprised by his car.
    If anybody possess a video of Porsche 917 (or alfa romeo 33) I will be interested in.

    I saw one at the goodwood festival of speed on TV. Honestly, the sound scared me to death. It was so intimidating.

    Cool thing. I loved the movie. If you are car freak, you really enjoy the scenes. What I especially liked is that sometimes there is no conversation for half an hour, just sound of Porsche & Ferrari.

    Such movies are rare, and will never be made again. Porsche & Ferrari gave their cars for shooting, Steve M. had a camera on his private car in 1970 Le Mans race to shoot the scenes for the movie! That could never happen again!!! In today racing movies S. Stallone drives a Indy Car (probably made on computer) through the city, hahaha!!!!

    Apparently, 917 is a good thing to buy at the moment. It is not priced very high and everybody estimates that price is going to go up a lot in the future. However, it costs lot of money already now, so no such worries for me ))

    Those just weren't enough. Apprently, the 512's couldn't keep up with the porsches.

    Love the 917. But which deserves to be the ultimate classic lemans legend? Look at my signature and it says the car.
