I loooove the 917, - Steve McQueen drove it in the movie/documentary "le Mans"
- but if you want to hear the most ludicrously loud, powerful car engine, - check out - " Why they make nitromethane ", - you WILL be impressed, - I promise..!!
@alexander1485 I was in the auction gallery this car sold in Monterey in 2000. This is a real 917 given to Steve from Porsche for doing the movie Lemans. . Although, it never raced.
Thanks for posting this. I loved the movie and the car. I stood next to this car last summer(under the watchful eye of a uniformed guard)! The LH looked cool, but the K handled better.
I can die now....

@acalthu no, this is real, I think the other one was a replica (good yea) or recreation (maybe someone found a spare engine?).

that was a movie on a chase with a fake 917-10 with lee majors driving,
it was supposed to be a thing in the future about good guys vs bad ,
then Lee major's gets free of the bad guy's and the into the sunset type of ending where alls well, and the bad guys are all gone,

starting 12 cyclinders with mehcanical fuel injection can be tricky... To me it sounds like an orchestra tuning up before the first chords of Bach.
