B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) ok, yeah, sorry harry about that, so i'm making this thread.......... its a Porsche Topic, anything can be said as long as it deals with porsches! thats it! so, let me start off with that pic i posted, the "new" styling study 928.......... so, whatcha guys think of it? like i said they should have made this instead of the panamera. and oh, CAL..... i don't blame Dr. Porsche, TO ME porsche is supposed to be strickly a 2door....... car..... thats it. lol i think porsche went to "modern" with the cayenne and the panamera, thats 2 models they should have never built! but don't get me wrong, i test drove a cayenne turbo, its nice, and the 4x4 is pretty good. and im sure porsche was thinking of the "family" man when they was building the panamera.

B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) and please don't give me crud for this........ if harry wants the other thread to stay just on the 918 concept, so i made this based on all porsches...... and if you don't like porsches.... then please don't post . us porsche fans don't want to hear a bunch of hate mail Edited March 4, 2010 by B_rad88
B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 what about the 959 now thats a porsche!!!! yeah, thats a good fav of mine. there was alot of new technology that was built into the 959 when they made it. but you can see the base 911 body in it, its just heavily modified. they also did a few rally cars and le-mans/gt-1 (i think gt-1) race cars. the le-mans race cars i beleave its know as the 961. also there is a tamiya (i think) kit of the rally 959.
CAL Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 962 most dominate sports car ever. Of corse the 917/30 was insane. Won every CanAm race for the entire 1973 season. 6.5:1 compression 42psi + boost pressure up to 1600hp in qualifying trim 820ft pounds of tourque 1871 pounds curb weight max speed 240+ Holds the world record closed circut speed record 0-60 2.7 0-100K 1.9 0-100 3.9 0-200K 5.3

Well it was built for Group B ralley but it was banned befor it could race. It raced Dakar and did well. Finished 1st and 2nd a third non-entered support 959 finished 6th.

Could be, it (the LM) was built to extend it's running at Le Mans into the 90s some 20 years after it was first built. Edited March 4, 2010 by CAL
B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 Could be, it (the LM) was built to extend it's running at Le Mans into the 90s some 20 years after it was first built. , yeah it was just refreshed many time over the years........

B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 Porsche is threatening again to come back to LeMans. oh? ........... me like the sound of that , if its a coupe, not open "roadster".
CAL Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 oh? ........... me like the sound of that , if its a coupe, not open "roadster". they said a coupe, I think the rules are going to change soon to all coupes and no open cars at all. They wont come back until they can compete for an overall, so as long as the diesels continue to dominate - they are supposed to be fixing that, though also. That is why the Factory never ran the RS Spyders.
Modelmartin Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Of course the 917/30 was insane. Won every CanAm race for the entire 1973 season It won every race it finished. It didn't finish 2 races at the start of the season. I don't know what single car was ever so dominant! Holds the world record closed circut speed record It did. That record has been broken twice, unfortunately by Mercedes C11/IV and then the OLDS Aerotech. Any 917 is a favorite of mine. I have 20+ kits in 1/24th! Waiting for a 917PA. Any Porsche Racecar up to mid 90s is a favorite of mine. I am getting older and the new stuff doesn't seem to be so shiny to me! Any Tuner street car is good, too!

CAL Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Mark Donohue was interviewed on his dominate car and asked, so you must have the perfect race car, Mark replied, "We not quite, the perfect race could spin the wheels all the way around the race track at any place at any time. The 917/30 could almost do that."

B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 the 917 was a very strong race car from the start. i personaly like the 917k short tail, the iconic red one that steve mcqueen drove, and also the gulf racing colors one too. and also can't forget the famous "pink pig" 917/20. lol!
elan Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 It's too bad there aren't more 917 kits out there. I mean affordable kits.
B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 well i knew he didn't drive that exact car........ lol
Gray Smith Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 all right. I keep it on topic of both Porsches and Fantasy cars. I have plans (in my head) to make a fictitious autobahn polizei car from a Porsche 959. All I have is the wheels mocked up. they are the spares from the enthusiast kits. I started with this Fujimi Lexus wheel: & smoothed out the sides: Assembled Wheel: Close up: AWESOME IDEA! you know i've got enough of these em kits to make up a set of 4 wheels, and I always like the way the steelie looked, never popped in my head that I could do something like that... oh and here is my 911 model.. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n225/grayelysemakalya/Models/Fujimi%20Enthusiast%20911%20Carrera%20-%20Sally/craptastic.jpg' alt='craptastic.jpg'> Gray
B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) yes its a cool idea... im personaly not a big fan of steelies. but they do look sweet on some cars, lol. and nice porsche carrera, may i ask what blue is that? and is that the revell kit? Edited March 4, 2010 by B_rad88
