The 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7: One of the Greatest Cars Ever Made

[911R]

Sorry, I had a 1971 Porsche 911 T in red. I can't find the picture but wish I had it back.

My main plan is the Amelia Island WERKS Reunion every year. It's on the East Coast and the West Coast.

Just saying but all motivated Porsche guys go to this. It's good to support them on this forum.

We all know that Rennsport Reunion has been announced for 2023. This is only every 4 years:
...WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca will host the world’s largest fan gathering in September 2023..

The new cars are all sure great, but all Porsche guys need to attend the big events to get the best understanding on why a Porsche is the greatest car ever made. Jerry Sienfield will attend with Jay Leno. I pretend that I don't know them.

Are you going to the reunion at Laguna Seca? I was thinking about getting a booth. Would be great to have actual Carpokeans stop by and/or even man the booth. Never been to Amelia Island but would love to see WERKS there.

Now, about getting Jerry and Jay to join Carpokes.... Our claim to fame is that we do it solely because we love these cars, which is increasingly rare and --get this-- we are actually civil to each other online.

Tom,
I'd normally go the Reunion at Laguna Seca. It's just the airlines are all mixed up due to whatever. And then the car rental situations..

I'd gladly be your guy on the East Coast as I can drive a 2020 Porsche 911 from Sebring, FL to Watkins Glen. And over to Road America as I stay at the Osthoff.

I raced four times in Road America. I got lucky once for missing the big wreck there:





I'd rather be lucky than good in vintage (it pays the same).

That Camaro on the bottom of the pile won the "Best Restored Cup" Award the night before.

These are the two cars on the pole in a vintage event at the Mitty ~10 years ago (my picture). They would “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". They can still hold their ground after 49 years.



Here is part of the local area Porsche Mountain drivers posing for pictures. Note the Porsche sign. I mentioned this site to them.

Very cool photo. We’d love for all of them to join and post pictures of their cars.

Is that orange car an official Porsche orange? If so, which one? I've been trying to find a bright orange Porsche will actually spray these days....

Thanks Larry,

I am working on them to post. I told them this place is all Porshe with no opinions.

Here I am in my first HSR three-hour enduro while waiting for my driver/owner to come in (we have radio commutation): I am a little nervous.



All ended good as we were on the podium after the checkered flag.
