Yes, good observation geolab.

It also amazed me how much the seat flexed in turns. I am sure that doesn't help on the "connected" feeling department.

Great video. Thanks for sharing it!

The wipers' axes.

This is definitely a 964, re-styled 993 look, but then again, a good ride

though the suspension is TOTALLY different, which is unique to te 993

Actually, it's even older than that...

I'll give you a hint..

Finally got a chance to watch this. Cool vid, but those brakes would drive me batty. Yeah, why was he so pissed at the car he finally passed?

1973 or earlier.....

I notice the wiper too and the dash. Not sure if the dash is original or not but the car doesn't have the rocker panel so I would say pre 74 is my guess.

Looks like the driver cheated too. Did you notice how he drove on the shoulders in order to pass his opponents?
