917 Porsche Laser Kit Car.

Does anyone own one? I seen one once and it looked awsome. Just wondering what all it took to get one or to make on price wise.

Why? you know it would turn heads going down the street. 85% of people would love to have one just for its looks.

I doubt the kit cars will top out at that speed knowing some had Corvair and VW engines.

Laser 917 and SPEED

Apparently your friend has never seen VW Drags...times in the low 10's.
A turbocharged Corvair can be faster than some Corvettes. My 917 has a 2 liter modified VW in it and with the extra overdrive tops out around 175. Your freind needs to understand that "Big Motor" sometimes compensates for little .........you get the idea. Porsche, Honda, Datsun, these have all been racing with 4 cylinders for years. And yes, the Laser is VERY cool.

Arrow Ass is right, it's ugly

The paint work is freaking ugly, but reminds me of the disgusting color schemes of the Space Era.

I don't believe in partial wheel obscurity. Masque the wheel just enough to get to the lugs, or completely masque it, else don't bother. The rear would benefit with more skirting just behind the wheel. The ass has cheap tinted acrylic plating, and it's 917 badge is crooked. I don't think anyone has yet termed it gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

This forum needs to permit <img> tag/containers.

Re: 917 Porsche Laser Kit Car.

still if you had seen one in person you would give those drivers a shit load of respect that car is the pureist racecar ive ever seen hell those bastards sat in steel seats and drove them for 24 hrs. i suppose that would be a dream for the porsche 959 dakar racer though
