Auto_Werks 3.6

I drug the 911 out to the Kansas city SCCA autocross this weekend, and figured I'd waste some of your bandwidth. I have not done much rear engine cone work this year, so don't be too hard on me!

Awesome videos! The engine sounds beautiful! Videos like this make my wait for 911 ownership excruciating.

Looking good, was that a GoPro HD camera?

Thanks!! Be patient... I know, everyone says that, but you'll get there if you put your mind to it.

Yoda, Yes, it's the GoPro... I burrowed it from a friend, so I really don't know much about it except how to operate it (barely).


Also, I knew the car felt pretty loose on the concrete to asphalt transitions, but I didn't realize how much work I was doing. You can see the reflection of my hands in the upper left corner somtimes. I need to figure out a camera mount to capure body movements and car progression.

what engine in that car?

Auto_Werks 3.6

I should put it in my sig...
3.6 conversion. 964 motorsports crank, 12:1 JE pistons, pauter long rods, GT3 oil pump, 3.8 RSR heads and cams, ITB injection w/ autronic management. 1.75" B&B headers with heat and B&B 2 in 2 out.

whew, that was a mouthful. The car is a frankenstein. Should be stock gearing for an 89.

It makes a standard 3.2L look slow as shiite

HAHAH, I drove a customer's 3.2 carrera once after doing some basic service. I looked over at my business partner and literally asked him: "is this thing broken, or do they drive like this?"
Seriously though, The more wild mine gets, the more I can appreciate having a bone stock Porsche to tool around on the road with.


Thanks Rus!

ivangene

nice!!

I wanted to watch these earlier but was too busy, glad I stopped by, thanks for posting

Ed Hughes

Sounds great! Is that an old airport?

Brucechas

No wasted bandwidth here, loved it!

ivangene

BTW if the "wild side" gets to be just TOOO MUCH for ya, let me know... I suppose I would be willing to swap a bone stock one for it -

talane

sounds fantastic...

Ed, It is a facility that local law enforcement uses for training. The pond in the picture is used to flood a wet skid pad, but the main course is dry. The white patches are concrete and the black is asphalt. the transitions off the grippy concrete can actually be a bit of a handful.

ivan, I meant for the first time in my life I could appreciate having a stock car in addition . Kansas is kind of a special hell for sports car lovers. There seem to be almost NO fun roads to drive. If I was still living in central Ohio I'm sure I would drive my car on the road more than I do out here.

I'm glad the vieo wasn't a complete waste of bandwidth
I have to admit that I watched them too many times just to hear the stupid thing... I don't get too many opportunities to use it these days.
