the 917/30 PORSCHE is not a street car only five were build by R Penske, at 1150 hp
they called them the Turbo Panzer, and killed Can AM racicing known as Group 5 cars.
No one was able to competed with the 917/30. Engine was 5.4 liter, 12 cylinder, air cooled,
twin turbo chargers, 4 speed gear box, 0 to 60, 2.1 sec. Of course the frist gear was good for 81 miles an hour. Look up 917/30 records on the internet. I saw them racing in CA.
And remember Ken Miles 427 Cobras, then the Mecoms boys beat them with the Grand Am Corvettes only five were build thru the back door, and GM killed the program
