Nine Seventeen

Jalopnik has a nice little happy–birthday article about the Porsche 917, which pretty much kicked the collective ass of everything on the planet. The later turbocharged version produced elevon–hundred horsepower. It's one of those cars that a boy (or a man my age) dreams they could just buy and drive on the road, flipping birds to all the candy–ass pussy boys in Mustangs and rice burners that explode as you scream by them. The other dream car is the Ford GT40, of which they eventually did sell a modern street–legal version called the Ford GT.
