[@peterfreiherr5719]

Where’s the race footage? All we see is a very cautious warm-up!

[@a8f235]

8:50 Nice to see something like this stretching its legs like that. Definitely got some speed there.

I remember someone saying years ago the rules for CAN/AM were written on a bar napkin. Must haves: enclosed bodywork, steering wheel, brakes, rollbar, four wheels, two seats with seat belts, fire extinguisher, mirrors. And that was about it. I can't imagine doing 230 + MPH in the Porsche 917/30.

This is what Torque looks like.

[@PieterHalveLiter]

So much torque.

[@mchristr]

It cuts way down on the gear changes.

[@TranceFur]

Good lord it’s fast. 😳

[@forktongue]

As with most racing videos, it's impossible to really convey how fast race cars really are. I attended two Can Am races at Road Atlanta in the early 1970s. The cars were driven by some of the best drivers in the world at that time (such as Denny Hulme, Peter Revson, Vic Elford & Jackie Stewart). The cars were incredibly fast while sometimes running inches apart. The acceleration was incredible and of course, the sound was something I've never forgotten. The Can Am cars that are still around are indeed fast, but I imagine they're not running at top speed since they're so valuable and expensive to purchase and maintain.

No disrespect, but bring back Bruce and Denny!

[@donaldlucas2120]

That's an awful lot of coasting defined with slow shifting. Retitle to: UNDERDRIVING A GREAT CAR.

[@RonRussell-sj1zf]

So, how does that compare to the prototype cars of today, the IMSA cars, performance-wise?

[@scottyskydog]

Love it!

[@rodclark5831]

The way you warm up that 560 sleeveless hunk of Aluminium is just right, ain't it. Fine driver and finer steward of your friend, black cars matter. Thank you for the yellow flag behaviour and that ball dropping speed. I can show my friends what you do with a knowledgeable pride. Grace owns you with a ferocity, Vintage is the best. That intake / straight cut gear whine really is music, enjoy my friend. Thanks.

[@grahammitchell4142]

VERY SHORT straights ??... aren't they... I seem to recall they were a lot longer than that ???

[@NielsHeusinkveld]

This has more legs than Tina Turner!

[@lawrencehayes5140]

What's the top speed, 170? Awesome chassis!

[@scottyskydog]

Over 200mph depending on track!

[@gregbennett4254]

Inredible acceleration! I'd like to see speedo on the screen.

[@gregbennett4254]

[@davidblankenship2720]

Helmet looks very familiar. Afraid? Never!

[@jeffarsenault4606]
