Worth it for the Chris Harris reaction at 14:23 and the followup, "You may be an absolute melon, but you can drive a bit."

That car looks like a handful, the owner/designer gave it hell during his run around the track.

[Brian Czeiner]

I think I need a smoke after watching that..........WOW!!!!

Interesting. The 350 HP number might be a bit light. The race prepped 2.7 in my 914/6 was approaching 300, or maybe even a tick over on a good day. His engine, with the four valve, twin cam heads, along with everything else needed to get over 10,000 rpm, should be a good bit more. His car weighs 1861.2 pounds, mine was 2100. His car looks to be great fun, especially if you are a drifter. Mine was more to the point; getting around the track as fast as possible. Given a choice, I think I would have more fun with his car.

Ken re-building 663xxxx  2.7 liter RS engine years ago.  210 H.P. with stock 8.5 to 1 compression ratio.  Installed in the modified red '72 911T.  Still have the car.  Excellence Magazine list curb weight at 2315 pounds for a '72.

There is a lot of torque and h.p. hidden in that little gem, the claim of 350H.P. is very light! Awesome car and video.

Nice 911. Nice "Z". Best of both worlds.

[Slot Car Rod]

Thanks Dave.  I purchased the 911 from my cousin in the late 70's.  He joined the Navy to be a pilot. The Datsun was my daily driver in the '70s.  I kept both cars.

 

A friend just sent me an electronic copy of the 911K brochure.  He tells me there are twelve spots left.  Price starts at 850K GBP.  I think you supply the car.

I had no idea on plans to sell them, or how many were being made, but with following Singer 911's, I was going to comment at $700,000-low 7 figures.

 

I guess I was right. Lol

 

BTW, I was listening to this the first time, from my phone, through the blue tooth in my hearing aids, as I was driving to K & S to pickup a few things.

 

I got on the highway via a 25 mph cloverleaf ramp and the video inspired me to give the new set of Pilot Sports I got installed on my Cayman, their first semi-hard test.

[Dave Crevie]

At the current exchange rate, that makes the Tuthill price $1,070,000.

Well? Evaluation, please.

It was on rails. Like a slot car with magna-traction.

 

I was near double, but I wished I had pushed it at least a bit harder.

 

This is first new pair of fronts I've had in 16 years/35K miles.

 

It's the 2nd pair of rears.

[Dave Crevie]

Wow! Only two pair of rears in 16 years. There was a time for me when rears were nearly a weekly thing. But I am sure I extended the life of the roadways near me; laying down a fresh coating of rubber to protect the asphalt.

 

Five years are the most I get from a set of tires, testament to my somewhat exuberant style of driving.   

[MSwiss]

I only drive the car 2,000-2,500 miles a year.

That was about how long a set of tires lasted on the Mustang.    With track days and drifting around cloverleafs, they didn't last long. In 43,000 miles I replaced the tires four times, so that was five sets including what came on the car. The last set lasting the longest, I had mellowed out a bit by then.

[MSwiss]

Owning a raceway doesn't permit me to drive that hard. Lol

A pretty good companion video.
