Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I saw my first Porsche at a young age & knew I had to have one. Then I saw the classic movie LeMans & the sound of a boxer engine with 2 turbos going down the Mulsanne straight flat out sealed the deal. Check this clip out A 40-year-old race car that still thrills Life is good!!
Those downshifts <3
Got to love it!
I wet myself.
flat 12? So, two flat sixes together - does that means it has not one, but two IMS bearings??? /
Awesome clip! 0 to 124 in under 6 sec with a 240 mph top speed.....40 years ago!
Holy tomatoes!
Thats a great video. Thanks for posting.
Just watched it. Great clip! The 917 was just damn near frightening!
Great video - thanks for that. The fun factor in these P cars is amazing. Every time I see a P car it assures me that my next car will be a P car whether my GF likes it or not. At least they are easier to get in and out of than an Elise.
917, arguably the greatest race car of all time. For me only the 956, GT-40 and 250 GT0 are close. The early 917 long tails were vicious, aka "the widowmaker". The 917k was much better, winning Porsche's first LeMans. Then came the turbos. 917/30 producing well over 1000bhp. Largely responsible for the death of the CanAm series it was so dominant.
