My video guys. 87 924S 944 Spec class. See, at :40 seconds, I'm turned in and well up on him. The turn was mine. Remember, there's another 5 or 6 feet of car in front of my dashboard. We could have gone thru the turn side by side. At :41, I've decided he's turning in on me so I try to get out of his way. Better to lose this turn than crunch the cars! I stayed on the brakes, so I couldn't have pushed the Honda. He spun around me.
if you look at the video closely the honda totally jerks the wheel into the porsche...crx tried to take that turn sharp....so the porsche had to spank him. nuff said
Fuck dude, if you had heel and toed you wouldnt be sliding all the way into the entry, probably wouldve got him when you said u were going to beat him on the brakes, but yet u were a cunt and dive bombed him and knocked him outa the race. Great job wanker, try that in a 911 and you wouldve span out approaching the corner.
Take a bow,Nelson Piquet...you just could resist spinning out a car that cost oh,about what maintenance alone costs for your car,who actually was not too shabby in keeping up with you.Just low class....and I am a Merc driver.
who cares about hondas beating porsches a car is only as good as the guy behind the wheel, but if the 944 points and establishes a point showing he's gonna pass, the CRX should honor that and give a little room unless he's more then two car lengths ahead of the person trailing him. there was nothing done wrong in this video
@300atsheridan There is never a reason to push someone out of the way. When you're the victim of this and even closely competitive then you'd understand. It's just poor driving ability that took him to step out and spin the guy and it takes a smaller man to be proud of it. If I had done this I would've felt very bad.
@darthnefas I have some track time and have seen this happen, and have been spun out, never spun anyone out, and the guy who spun me apologized once the day was over because we both were heavy on the brakes, but I didn't see him point and establish position for the pass so when I turned into the turn he clipped me. It could easily have been the case here.... you can see he was trying to brake and he was caught in the middle and couldn't really do anything without causing more damage.....
@300atsheridan Okay, I'll say it again. There is, and never will be a reason to push someone out of the way. If he can't handle his car or his brakes then learn so you won't ruin someone's day. The point of what I'm saying is his comment was he "handed him a mad beating" and as you said, the other guy felt bad for turning you and I would too and if you have experience then you agree! And you did! I don't see that remorse. I'm on my third 944 so you were saying something about experience?
@darthnefas Not purposely there will never be a reason, but that's why people go to amateur nights and open track days, to gain experience and learn. this is unfortunate yes, but it does happen. yes the description sounds a bit cocky, but that's not my doing. it sucks to get spun around and quite honestly I was still young when I got spun I thought I was crashing, but it happens, and people learn from that. I've only had one, i'm not saying you aren't experienced.. i'm just saying it happens
Look i race karts , and that shit happends all the time, The CR-X was being a Douch, by thinking hes better, shutting him off to the right hander after the left, By all meaning the 944 had the Inside... yet again the CRX driver would have been looking the the mirror anyways , so he knew the 944 would take the inside... his own fault.
awesome video. That 944 sounds like its go no exhaust haha, i like it! I wouldn't trade mine for anything. economy car vs Porsche= PAIN-FULL to watch. I agree, one Honda was taken out, but what about the other few that got smoked and out handled? No argument for that.
The Honda amateur tried to cut off the committed faster car from the outside line ( his fwd line ), than failed to go wide to challenge for the turn and then got turned. As a driving instructor I wouldn't give the Honda driver the go ahead to drive alone after watching " his chopping style " , it shows lack of judgement and endangers other drivers, be it " track or racing ".
The rookie Honda boy turned into the Porsche that had run him down everywhere; straights, brakes/turns etc. If he had any brains he would have tried to go side by side through the turn, but instead he ignored the faster moving car which was already set for the turn, apexing and the Honda boy got turned. The rookie just wasn't watching his mirrors and rightfully so got punted.
@Coolbri1191 I kept the power steering in. I used it for 3-4 hour enduros to lessen the workload and it is a faster working ratio which means less steering input needed.
@timcomeau I see.. I have a manual rack in mine. my mechanic said it was better, although my car came with power steering not working, so we just put in a manual rack instead of fixing it.
@ANGRYQUATTRO how was that rice these were track cars not fast n furious and they were going past 125 mph hondas top speed is a lil less than 120 these cars were not rice...dumbass
I cant help but comment.... This is an interesting one. The 944(which is the shit, I own a turbo s) hits his line. The CRX cuts in on him. Look at the rubber on the road to determine the apex.

@spintmes See, at :40 seconds, I'm turned in and well up on him. Remember, there's another 5 or 6 feet of car in front of my dashboard. We could have gone thru the turn side by side. At :41, I've decided he's turning in on me so I try to get out of his way. Better to lose this turn than crunch the cars! I hit the brakes harder, which makes the rear end step out, which probably causes the countersteering you see.
@spintmes Nope. Watch it again. My car didn't slide. It was stuck to the road at the turn in. Under hard braking, there was alot of weight on the front of my car. That's why the Honda spun around me so easily. If you see me countersteer, it's only because I'm hitting the brakes harder and having to balance the weight of the car.
@darkeyce02 ..Nope, watch again. I was on the brakes and turning in. The brakes didn't lock up. We could have gone thru the turn side by side, but he turned in more. HE hit me, not the other way around.
@timcomeau well looked like your car went straight after hitting the brakes right before you hit him. i know he hit you. i ve locked my brakes up in my 944 a couple times "front brakes" so yea,,,
know whats fun? coming up to a red light next to some punk in a civic dx, he's revvin his engine with his aftermarket pipe etc.... and then smokin him with your chevy cavalier :P
@PLAYmorePAINTBALL Haha lol he must be a rookie. Driving a riced CRX and turning into you. Those CRX can get crazy though I've seen a video on here of a CRX walking a Lamborghini Murcielago lol.
@NightRush Nope. Watch it again. I had started my turn in and my car responded. It didn't understeer. As I saw the Honda start to turn in sharper, I tried to back out.
@timcomeau Your car turned in but the whole thing started to slide, you stayed nowhere near the inside. That looked like a tight set of two left handers, the front of your car was way out into the quarter panel of the crx.
@NightRush He didnt take it too fast, he was able to take it alot faster than the honda because its one of the all time best handling cars, honda spun himself out :P
@dxh24 Dude the porsche was going in so hot he had to countersteer just moments before the apex of the corner, taking the honda out. Do you know how little that thing weighs? It could have taken the corner perfectly if it werent for the porsche destroying it.
@klramon stereotyping of the people you were profiling? Lol you obviously don't know anything about the subject. You spelled I-Vtec wrong 3 times with 2 different spellings. I drive a Nissan but Honda's are better cars than most...
@speed1205 i don´t give a shit! All hondas are trash cans and the drivers are even worse! If you didn´t notice they allways try to prove how fast their are! So what you say is even more pathtic! You say that a honda is better than a porsche! Well that´s cool... The hondas are cheap build, ugly, slow, noisy and they are front wheel drive! So learn to think before you leave a comment!
@klramon No you have an 8th grade education and can't reply to a comment without at least 3 stereotypes and 2 examples of profiling lol. And you have anger problems. All I posted before are facts; not farts that you claim lol. I bet you've never gotten behind the wheel of any Honda.
@speed1205 i drove a bimmer. A diesel one! Now i am driving a Vw T3. And i hate this retarded idiots because they always wanted to show off. You drive on the autobahn over 200 km/h and see that there are two cars blocking the both lanes because they are "RACING"! Or you driving in a town and there is always a dumbass in a civic who is cuting everyone and drives like a complete maniac. Or they are trying to race against you while knowing that´ve got no chance at all. Where is the sense?
As the overtaker, I'm the one who needs to establish position, which I did. I had already stopped going any faster than the Honda and I could have held my line, but he turned in on me. Watch the vid again and see the left curbing. Watch me hit the clutch and brake to get out of his way.
@timcomeau Tim. . got two N/A's (1st gen, both with manual racks). One's a driver and ones a parter that's pretty stripped except for good engine, T tube, suspension and front clip/doors. The driver is at best a good PCA shell. Some Weltmeister upgrades (front/rear bushings, strut brace, upgraded rotors etc. ) I'm looking to sell here in Co. Any clue what I should ask?? 1.5 - 2.5 ???
The turn was mine. The crx driver turned in on me anyway. I tried to back out of his way, but we still had contact. Remember that my 924S has a lot of car past the windshield. The turn was mine, and we could have gone side by side, but he turned in on me.
These 944s are awesome track cars just in stock form it seems. I plan on getting one of these to get my feet wet, I really want a 951 but gotta start somewhere ...
it's not European for 951, it's Porsche for 951. The European cars only had less emissions not special 951 emblems ... it is Porsche's internal production code for the 944 Turbo. You should look into their nomenclature it can get confusing what with right-hand drive models and such. I had a 924 Turbo (which was a mistake) also none internally as production model 931.
oh wow sounds good for those mods ...i have a bursh header/cat delete/Ansa muffler and my car sounds sorta like yours. Its the only 944/924S i can find that sounds like mine...
Simply, It makes it easier to match revs well and if someone spins in front of me in the braking zone and I have to swerve hard left or right, having the car in a gear and ready to accellerate can make the difference between me avoiding a wreck and becoming part of the wreck. Last year at Cal Speedway, I was outbraking another 944 when I realized I had pushed it too far. Other cars were a little ahead of us as well. Instead of continuing to limit brake and take a chance of hitting another car..
...I accellerated HARD. I had time to drive straight through the turn and clear the course before anyone turned in. Good thing I was in a gear and ready to accellerate. :)
Simply, In fact it was the same turn where I tried to outbrake the Honda in this video! I just drove thru it, stayed on the pavement, and rejoined the race.
No, not really. The 944's and 924S's are stripped down but have stock engine, brakes, and transmissions. The class is called 944 Spec and is part of NASA (National Auto Sports Association). I'm not sure about the Hondas.
I said, Thamks for the kind words. The Zebra car in the videos was a good car , which was crashed and destroyed at California Speedway by a friend who was qualifying for a 3 hour enduro.
From watching it over and over i can tell you are not the one at fault here, he set himself up wide before the turn and let you slip to the inside. It was a risk by him to try and cut to the inside, he could have kept it wide.
I havn't read NASA's rules though, every racing associations policies vary(more of an SCCA guy)
You don't know the rules of road racing obviously......
The guy turned in on me. I tried to get out of the way of his mistake so that we wouldn't have contact. He should have given me "room to race" because I had properly "established position" on him. Keep in mind that when he started turning in, there was 6 feet more of my car in front of my dash board. It's a wide angle camera, but I was well up on him. The turn was mine.
Meh, bar the Quattro turbo, most Audis were in drag then. Fair play for Porsche taking up the challenge. It wasn't the first time Porsche worked with VAG either. (914, a very nice car now was a VW-Porsche).
After going in a mate's one (it's a mint one I admit) I'd rather have one over the MGBs I've owned. Better for roadholding and surprisingly comfy inside in a quirky modern way (5 gears, good driving position etc.) But they are slowly creeping up in value now compared to before.
no etc lol, just engine and drive train, pretty much everything else is VW, also why say 944 when its a 924 S, admit it, this guy wishes he had a real porsche
what are we talking about again? last i saw, we were talking about the 924S pretending to be a real through and through porsche, just like this guy pretending he has a 944.
and what tests have you done to say its faster and handles better? or did you hear it from the kind of people that want a porsche, but settle for a 924 instead?
it's just a fact man, chill. and the 924S has less weight thus faster. i've read it in articles as well. you are such a close-minded fiend its worthless having a good argument with you.
@geofen8036 I know its got the same engine, I even said that before ?? But they are different cars, hence the name of the vid is wrong. You need to read what is said before claiming I dont know about porsches
True, but he knew I was close enough to attack. As such, he should have defended by taking a tighter line, or at least looked one more time before turning in. :)
I think he didn't know I was there, or he thought I would back out sooner and give him the turn. Tough to miss my car with it's huge black and white diagonal stripes! We could have easily gone through the turn side by side.
Going back to Cal Speedway in March. Should be lots of 944's and 924S's there racing.....and a couple scared Hondas!

@timcomeau You were going in too fast, you went into the outside lane and took out the crx.
NightRush 1 year ago
@NightRush Nope. Watch it again. I had started my turn in and my car responded. It didn't understeer. As I saw the Honda start to turn in sharper, I tried to back out.
timcomeau 1 year ago
@timcomeau Your car turned in but the whole thing started to slide, you stayed nowhere near the inside. That looked like a tight set of two left handers, the front of your car was way out into the quarter panel of the crx.
NightRush 1 year ago
@NightRush Nope. Look at the curbing on the left.

@NightRush He didnt take it too fast, he was able to take it alot faster than the honda because its one of the all time best handling cars, honda spun himself out :P
dxh24 1 year ago
@dxh24 Dude the porsche was going in so hot he had to countersteer just moments before the apex of the corner, taking the honda out. Do you know how little that thing weighs? It could have taken the corner perfectly if it werent for the porsche destroying it.

@klramon stereotyping of the people you were profiling? Lol you obviously don't know anything about the subject. You spelled I-Vtec wrong 3 times with 2 different spellings. I drive a Nissan but Honda's are better cars than most...
speed1205 1 year ago
@speed1205 i don´t give a shit! All hondas are trash cans and the drivers are even worse! If you didn´t notice they allways try to prove how fast their are! So what you say is even more pathtic! You say that a honda is better than a porsche! Well that´s cool... The hondas are cheap build, ugly, slow, noisy and they are front wheel drive! So learn to think before you leave a comment!

@klramon No you have an 8th grade education and can't reply to a comment without at least 3 stereotypes and 2 examples of profiling lol. And you have anger problems. All I posted before are facts; not farts that you claim lol. I bet you've never gotten behind the wheel of any Honda.

@speed1205 i drove a bimmer. A diesel one! Now i am driving a Vw T3. And i hate this retarded idiots because they always wanted to show off. You drive on the autobahn over 200 km/h and see that there are two cars blocking the both lanes because they are "RACING"! Or you driving in a town and there is always a dumbass in a civic who is cuting everyone and drives like a complete maniac. Or they are trying to race against you while knowing that´ve got no chance at all. Where is the sense?

@PLAYmorePAINTBALL
As the overtaker, I'm the one who needs to establish position, which I did. I had already stopped going any faster than the Honda and I could have held my line, but he turned in on me. Watch the vid again and see the left curbing. Watch me hit the clutch and brake to get out of his way.

@timcomeau Tim. . got two N/A's (1st gen, both with manual racks). One's a driver and ones a parter that's pretty stripped except for good engine, T tube, suspension and front clip/doors. The driver is at best a good PCA shell. Some Weltmeister upgrades (front/rear bushings, strut brace, upgraded rotors etc. ) I'm looking to sell here in Co. Any clue what I should ask?? 1.5 - 2.5 ???

Petrucci,
The turn was mine. The crx driver turned in on me anyway. I tried to back out of his way, but we still had contact. Remember that my 924S has a lot of car past the windshield. The turn was mine, and we could have gone side by side, but he turned in on me.

These 944s are awesome track cars just in stock form it seems. I plan on getting one of these to get my feet wet, I really want a 951 but gotta start somewhere ...
drewnashty 2 years ago
but 951 is just European for 944 turbo ...
andbudzi 2 years ago
it's not European for 951, it's Porsche for 951. The European cars only had less emissions not special 951 emblems ... it is Porsche's internal production code for the 944 Turbo. You should look into their nomenclature it can get confusing what with right-hand drive models and such. I had a 924 Turbo (which was a mistake) also none internally as production model 931.

When you downshift it seems like you go through every gear... Why not go straight from 5 to 3? Why bother with 4th gear?
SimplyJoeboe 2 years ago
Simply, It makes it easier to match revs well and if someone spins in front of me in the braking zone and I have to swerve hard left or right, having the car in a gear and ready to accellerate can make the difference between me avoiding a wreck and becoming part of the wreck. Last year at Cal Speedway, I was outbraking another 944 when I realized I had pushed it too far. Other cars were a little ahead of us as well. Instead of continuing to limit brake and take a chance of hitting another car..
timcomeau 2 years ago
...I accellerated HARD. I had time to drive straight through the turn and clear the course before anyone turned in. Good thing I was in a gear and ready to accellerate. :)
timcomeau 2 years ago
Simply, In fact it was the same turn where I tried to outbrake the Honda in this video! I just drove thru it, stayed on the pavement, and rejoined the race.

Damn, that sounds great! And you out-accelerated a CRX, didn't know that was something a 944 could do.
zJoriz 2 years ago
The Hondas have a great power to weight ratio. I was only able to out accellerate the Honda because I had a better line out of the left-right turn.
timcomeau 2 years ago
I take it all cars seen here are heavily modified as well?
zJoriz 2 years ago
No, not really. The 944's and 924S's are stripped down but have stock engine, brakes, and transmissions. The class is called 944 Spec and is part of NASA (National Auto Sports Association). I'm not sure about the Hondas.

Turppa21 2 years ago
Wow, i some great racing!
From watching it over and over i can tell you are not the one at fault here, he set himself up wide before the turn and let you slip to the inside. It was a risk by him to try and cut to the inside, he could have kept it wide.
I havn't read NASA's rules though, every racing associations policies vary(more of an SCCA guy)

THESPOOFFER 2 years ago
Rishie,
You don't know the rules of road racing obviously......
The guy turned in on me. I tried to get out of the way of his mistake so that we wouldn't have contact. He should have given me "room to race" because I had properly "established position" on him. Keep in mind that when he started turning in, there was 6 feet more of my car in front of my dash board. It's a wide angle camera, but I was well up on him. The turn was mine.

Lateboy, No, you're thinking of the 2.0 liter 924. This is a 2.5 924S, which is actually a 944, but with the narrow body of the original 924.
Skim thru the other comments and you'll see that it wasn't my fault at all. :)
timcomeau 2 years ago
so its not a 944, its a 924S. thats not the same, one is a proper porsche and the other is a VW reject that started life with a van engine lol
to be honest mate, that tap was your fault coz you poked your nose in a gap that was never gonna last, you were far too far back.
but the fight into the previous corner was good and fair, cool short vid

darkeyce02 2 years ago
Meh, bar the Quattro turbo, most Audis were in drag then. Fair play for Porsche taking up the challenge. It wasn't the first time Porsche worked with VAG either. (914, a very nice car now was a VW-Porsche).

yep, we had an old 74 914, never got it fixed but ther was plenty of VW logo's on it
darkeyce02 2 years ago
After going in a mate's one (it's a mint one I admit) I'd rather have one over the MGBs I've owned. Better for roadholding and surprisingly comfy inside in a quirky modern way (5 gears, good driving position etc.) But they are slowly creeping up in value now compared to before.
MrChasR 2 years ago
@lateboy4 it is a proper porsche. the 924S has the 944 engine, drivetrain, etc put into the 924 frame.
Coolbri1191 2 years ago 3
no etc lol, just engine and drive train, pretty much everything else is VW, also why say 944 when its a 924 S, admit it, this guy wishes he had a real porsche
lateboy4 2 years ago
..yet the 924S is faster than the 944? and handles better?
Coolbri1191 2 years ago
what are we talking about again? last i saw, we were talking about the 924S pretending to be a real through and through porsche, just like this guy pretending he has a 944.
and what tests have you done to say its faster and handles better? or did you hear it from the kind of people that want a porsche, but settle for a 924 instead?
lateboy4 2 years ago
it's just a fact man, chill. and the 924S has less weight thus faster. i've read it in articles as well. you are such a close-minded fiend its worthless having a good argument with you.
Coolbri1191 2 years ago
@lateboy4 924S has a porche 2.5 just like the 944. Not the earlier audi eng. Same HP lighter car. Comes down to driver as it always.

They might have thought you were going to work the brakes for them, or they just were not aware you were there.

I think he didn't know I was there, or he thought I would back out sooner and give him the turn. Tough to miss my car with it's huge black and white diagonal stripes! We could have easily gone through the turn side by side.
