Sure woke Porsche up! Took a couple of years, but they worked up to the 917, which held many racing firsts and sequences for some time.
Sadly, I've only sit in one for a few minutes (Gulf 2 livery). I did have to run across the carousel at Summit Point WV to give a hand pulling that car out of a ditch it had spun into, high centering on the pavement edge. Wasn't light, but three of us were able to (grimace) spin and rock it on it's belly pan until it was once more off in a cloud of rubber.
