« on: April 20, 2005, 01:20:31 AM »

I'm up, and I'm bored, so I did this. Yes I have too much time on my hands. This is also a kind of visual guide to most Porsches out there, for those who aren't in the know but would like to be. I combined some similar models in some places.

If any pics aren't working, it's because I got them all from various places on the web.

Being such a Porschenut, it's hard for me to choose one - so I'll choose four: I love the 928. Having had one, I know from firsthand experience just how undeservedly maligned, overlooked, and underestimated this wonderful GT is. In fact, when I start school later this year, I'll also start saving for my graduation present to me - a 928 GTS.

My absolute favorite street-Porsche is the 1994 964 Turbo 3.6, and I will have one of those someday too. My favorite early car would definitely have to be the 904, and the king of all racers would be the 917K or mighty 917/30.

If I had to choose just one, I'd probably go crazy.

It looks like we have a good number of fans of the 993 here.

I love so many but this is my favorite road going dream car.  Dauer Porsche.  Twin turbo watercooled 3.0, 730hp, 250mph+, 0-60 in 2.6.  Road going version of the 962 for racing homoligation.  One of the most succcessful racecars of all time.  These are what I remember from my childhood.

Dauers are so nice. I don't remember Group C cars needing homologation though...

I don't remember the particulars but it was for it to race in the 24 hours of LeMans as a production car in I think 1994.  Something like that.  Sounds like a ringer to me but oh well.  I saw it on Speed channel on a Porsche special with Alain DeCadeney(sp.).  He could have been wrong or I heard it wrong.

I found this among other things that verify that the road car allowed it to race in LeMans in 94.  It was raced as a GT not as a Group C.

"In 1994, the Group C Porsche was dead, but the Le Mans GT regulations left a gap big enough to drive a 962 through. The factory promptly obliged. Tagged the Dauer-Porsche 962, after one of the road going 962 conversions, the 1994 entry was little less than the factory's latest development of the 962. Sure, it ran on slightly narrower tyres than a pukka Group C car (like the Toyota it defeated at Le Mans), but it got a whole lot more fuel to use in a stint."

There were other companies that made road going versions of the 962, but I like the Dauers the best.  Plus the Dauers were factory backed.  The others are Koenig, DP and Schuppan.

"Of the companies that have produced a 962 road car, the most successful has been Dauer. After displaying their first 962 at the 1993 Frankfurt Show, Dauer partnered with Porsche to manufacture a contender for the 1994 24 Hours of LeMans. At that time the prototype rules stipulated that a single road-going version of the car had to manufactured for homologation."

Not to mention it was possible to register a 956/962 for the street as a kit car, if you bought a used chassis and swapped in a 911 mill.

Interesting about the GT class at Le Mans, I didn't know that.

Yup, it was on base the other day, driving off.  I think it is one of the high up officers around here.

Nice car.  There is a few of those around here.  They are single turbo not twin turbo.  Twin turbo did not show up untill the 993 I believe.  I like those better than the slant nose unless the slant nose is a Kremer or DP version.
