Any follow ups on this, 917?
How are you finding it? Enjoying it I hope. :thumb:
Anything planned for it? Mods or road trips/trackdays?
Thanks for the bump, I'm not as good at documenting stuff as you!
Yes, loving it so far, I've not done any real mileage in it yet, but it seems supremely capable.
I'd had my 964 for ten years and midified and tracked it extensively, so I was completely comfortable in driving it hard.
So far the R is showing it's such much more capable, and outright faster, as well as being a lovely place to be in just cruising on the motorway. I'm thinking of doing some driver training in it, just so I can safely find the limits, and beyond before really pushing it anywhere. It's a long time since I had a quick RWD (E46 M3 about 15 years ago) car, so I've got a lot to learn
It's booked in for service in two weeks, and after that I will take it on track, not sure but probably to Brands, which is my local circuit and somewhere I'm comfortable with.
I'm going to Prescott for the Porsche Hillclimb in 3 weeks and to the Precision cars and Coffee event the week after
Thinking of doing the Porsche museum trip before September (to see the 917 Anniversary exhibition) and will certainly be going to Europe next year. We normally do Spa at Easter, but we're contemplating an alternative for a change, maybe Zolder or Zandvoort.
I will also do the Crystal Palace Sprint next year. I competed in the last 4 in my 964 and loved the whole event, this year I knew I was selling so didn't enter. I went as a spectator with my car part of the display on Sunday. Pleased to see the Cayman GT4 and Boster S entered were both slower than I went in my 964 last time though
