On board screaming '74 Porsche 911 RSR at Road Atlanta

Todd Treffert started The Mitty's awesome 54-car Porsche celebration race at the head of the field in his 1974 Porsche 911 RSR IROC and put on a dominant display to take the victory, carving his way through traffic around the sweeps of Road Atlanta #gwflatout

Might be the best sports car ever in terms of rawness and sound.

[@Jim_M_75]

Years later but I was going to comment and say very similar. Pure, raw, old school horsepower, woderfull.

[@maxmurphy8052]

So Satisfying.

[@shoot17me]

the sound of this motor is fantastic

[@v_alexiadis]

What an awesome track!

[@DaveSlaz]

That door gap . . .

[@thegreatcarraway]

Seals are just unneeded weight.

[@jessewall1025]

Dave Slaz I can't take my eyes off it!pretty smooth steering input though.

[@donald_ts]

You are afraid of rain? hahaha

[@DaveSlaz]

It can't be much good for the aero and drag effect .

[@jessewall1025]

Dave Slaz another excuse to watch again.

[@jrotheman2]

I was there...and it was awesome watching this car being pedaled around Road Atlanta. On Sunday, he was even more dominant - in the rain!

[@davew5167]

the RS is one of the greatest cars ever made. Raw energy. Sounds amazing.

[@alistairmckillop224]

stunning sound

[@mickwrinkles2318]

Excellent driving. I'm impressed.

[@bogthing1]

Remarkably smooth...

[@bargym2312]

[@skrads]

Great driving and great engine sound!

[@mrbdzz]

Nice how they've kept the original look and feel. Especially in the dashboard instrument cluster 😋

[@paulussticks8574]

Stunning

[@HarelDZL]

this beast is really happy,he build to run,daammnn this old beast​ is fast... he treat like he used to be.....run just run, the limiter screaming is when he say "hell yeah!!!!"

[@TemeculaDoug]

How I thought I was a Malibu Gran Prix back in the day as a 14 yr old kid (same noises in my head) haha

[@Bugelise]

Perfection!

[@Kolinu2]

Passing everyone as though they're on a parade lap.

[@stevenmarti7371]

That is awesome!!!!

[@LAOVideoFiles]

Excelente!!!!!

[@Samson518]

Was this car running in the right class? Brought an ICBM to a gunfight!

[@jaytucker4338]

Okay...so for me the BEST is 7:50 where car ahead is like; "Nope, no thank you, not for me" and pulls off the track as this '74 RSR comes screaming up behind him. The rest makes me think of introducing butter to a hot knife: Butter, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine Hot Knife...[blink] Hot Knife, this is Butter. [blink. blink] ...Y'all enjoy yerselfs.

[@WarrenRCG]

Holy moving chicannes, Batman!

[@therealmaxspeedster]

I love these "Flat out and Fearless" videos, and I specifically came to this one to see a "master class" in how to remain fast and in control of a car that is actively trying to kill you in each corner...Didn't see that here, car seemed to be pretty well balanced. Isn't the RSR a variant of that 930 Turbo that used to ruin so many lesser skilled driver's days way back when?

[@po9146]

They actually appeared around the same time. The first RSR was in '73, this car was '74 with a wider body and larger engine, and the first racing 911 Turbo was also '74. The actual road going 930 popped up in '75. I think what you're noticing is skills honed on driving 911s. From what I understand the traditional rear-engine 911 works best with a slow in, fast out approach. Come into the corner too hot and you get the famed end-swap you're referring to. Let the brakes do their magic going in, use the light steering to point the front, then launch.

[@jowbenga8402]

Great!

[@MyBiach]

Is that coolant in the A pillar pipe?

[@CARSRULE94]

I'm in love...

[@braveheart930]

good noise❗

[@strokeracer]

Downshifting is very quick with seemingly no heel/toe rev matching, just chuck it down a gear and lift the clutch? Or am I missing it?

[@sickdevs]

He is heal/toe rev matching, they're very quick down changes...

[@strokeracer]

denny11lane thanks. Mate. I don't race. But use to take my road car to the track for car club sprints

[@Deathlyill666]

NEVER LIFT

[@shigeo44]

Engine specs??

[@mountjoy23]

it's an RSR.

[@oscarzt1652]

3.0 L aircooled flat 6, SOHC, 230HP

[@Hoffbottraces]

That's got A LOT more than 230hp. Trust me.

[@JMartinni]

The original RSR 3.0 IROC cars had ~320hp.

[@skrads]

Nice! That's how it's done. Best engine sound.

[@gtrguyinaz]

Looks amazingly fast.. not a stock 74 rsr…

[@allensaunders449]

great driving looks like alot of fun unlike with some cars on the track. Must of been Porsche track day

[@Deathlyill666]

Allen Saunders I have noticed it seems like it would be much more fun to race around in an older car than a new one. No assistance, just you & the machine

[@overbuiltlimited]

@@Deathlyill666 Old cars are more fun on the road too. My old 911 makes the milk run an event.

[@BobPDXz]

I am not brave enough to do any thing like that...

[@Whaziznamez2]

:)

[@markremy4946]

In the USA, only dorks and drug dealers drive German cars.
