  • Whilst in Kansas, I got the amazing opportunity to jump behind the wheel of a Porsche 917 recreation by Kraftwerk... one of the most comprehensive replicas you can buy of the iconic 1970s race car. Even better, I get to drive it on the downtown streets of Wichita to dinner!

      @@DrkStmpunkr It's funny how people get acrimonious about abortion being a sin while Christian conservatives--especially rich and powerful Christian conservatives--live lives packed to the brim with sin and completely against the teachings of the New Testament. Lives full of boastfulness, pride, greed, and disdain for the misfortunate--those who Jesus cared for the most. Ignore the sins that are inconvenient to your worldview, demonize the ones that aren't, it's the conservative way. Ignore your own sins and criticize those who are downtrodden by society. Forgetting everything you said about the sanctity of life the moment the child is born also seems to be the convenient route I see a lot of the time. In case you've forgotten, the Pharisees were criticized heavily by Jesus for the same behavior you see glamorized by conservative Christians everywhere, and the church has yet again become a place of profit, just waiting for its tables to be overturned by an angry God. Practice what you preach.

    The replica 917 is pretty cool. Watched the real ones race - a lot, and there was nothing like them again - ever. The best drivers could exit slower corners with the tires spinning and just explode into the distance when traction was attained. They were a totally dominant race car. And that sound...sort of precise, hollow and light at low revs changing to a great raucous Brrraaaaappp at transitions, and at speed, well, it just sounded like the biggest baddest giant Gorilla of a Porsche it truly was.

    Well, you're half right, Sam. The 917s were regulated under group 4 FIA regs (unlike the 910, 908, and 907 under group 5), but, in 1969, the category was changed from "sportscars" to "sportscar prototypes." It was a wording change meant to address the dominance of the MK1 GT40s in 67, 68, and 69. It meant that Porsche DID have to build 25 917s (where, previously, a manufacturer was supposed to build 50 cars), but that, unlike the GT40, the 917 never had to be road legal. There have been some subsequent road legal conversions that have exploited legal loopholes, but, unlike the GT40, the 917 was never road legal.
