Post UPDATED June's Contest -- I will be impressed if you get this!

I will be thoroughly impressed by whoever gets this month's trivia question correct.

Furthermore, Travis from Rennbay.com has offered to donate high quality Porsche vinyl stickers to two of the folks who get it right. Of course, the drawing will still be random, but instead of just one winner, there will be three. Thanks Travis!

So, check it out:

BTW, the correct answer to last month's question:

What year did Porsche make fuel injection and high-tension ignition standard features?

Was answer #3, 1968 with 29 people answering correctly! Congrats!

Put it this way, no one has gotten it right yet. It's definitely a tough one!!

Ya gotta think though, that I'm no genius, so I must have gotten it from somewhere... most likely online. Start searching ladies and gents!

Ok, I realize why no one has gotten it right.

My fault guys. I've deleted all the tries and changed the question slightly. I hope that helps. I see why you thought it was easy

I see why you guys thought it was so easy... My apologies again for a poorly worded question. It was missing two key words.

In all seriousness, I'm getting this information FROM Porsche, so if a history book was written about Porsche doesn't jive with me, they aren't jiving with Porsche. Unless there's a typo.

I know how it is, Matt. I made a mistake once, I bought a pencil with an eraser.

I feel that your hp figure is off, not by a lot, but then again hp changes from source to source, like those wacky bmw F1 motors from the 80's that they have no idea how much hp they made because the dyno's didn't go that high......

But its your game so, i'll play with your responces.....

All I can say is I got my info directly from Porsche. If it's off or wrong, my apologies. I've always known Porsche to be conservative in their figures, but maybe not in the racing models.

At the suggestion of one member, what do you guys think if I do these questions weekly? Then take the weekly winners and add them to the monthly drawing?
