Although classified as a 'production' car, due to Porsche making 12 units in a one year period, the 1972(?) 917 broke the sub 2 second mark then, for 0-60. I think 0 - 100 in under 4 ?

Doubt you could go to your local Porsche dealer and pick one though!

That's the thing what defines a 'production' car. As far as I see it the only one of these cars that fits the description of a true 'production' car is the Vet.

I started driving in 1973 and around here nothing could touch Bobby Sxxxxza's 1967 427 Corvette except some guy in Swissvale who owned a 1968 427 L88 Corvette. Bobby's car was beautiful except for that stupid mural he had painted on the side of it. Never could figure why he did that. Not even Johnny RxxO's with his Shelby GT500 wanted any parts of that Vet.

The year was actually 1969 and 25 Porche 917's were built to meet the homolocation requirements so the car could be reaced. They had only 4 weeks to build them. The 25 cars were lined up for inspection and the inspector was offered a ride in the car of his choice. It is a good thing he declined, because several of the cars were non functioning mock ups.

Go F**k yourself jOe.

Don't like it...don't read it....stay out of it.

It is entertaining and interesting even if it is a million miles away from either double guns or the equally off-topic original post.

For those reasons, it is difficult to fathom how Gladys, I mean old colonel, has restrained himsellf from sticking his whiny nose into it???

I guess when you become elevated to self-appointed thread moderator, you get to make the rules that satisfy your own thin-skinned whining standards.

OK,, just musing about hypocrisy and double standards... Thanks for allowing me to wonder why the enabling of anti-gun trolls is somehow better. Carry on with the car discussion. I like cars... but can't stomach anti-gunners or their enablers

That's what I'm talkin' about!! Way Satisfying!!

Way more accurate HAK, thanks for that! I believe one of the fastest real production cars was a Catalina 2x2 (?). Not sure of the year....early seventies? I remember reading a car and driver article on the topic.

I'm sure I will be corrected....or greater clarification given.....lol.

I remember that and have been unable to find it. I thought it a bit earlier but also may be mistaken.

Catalina 2x2 was tested by Car and Driver in 1965 and ran a 0-60 in 3.9 sec. Definitely fast, definitely a real production car, unlike say those Porches. Top speed around 130 and I sure wouldn't have wanted to drive that thing at speed around some corners. Lol

Production ran between 1964 and 1970.
