    I'm sory, there's no sound. It doesn't matter, though; words don't describe the cool factor.

    Marco,

    That's fantastic!! How cool was the girl pouting into the lens and what about the "arty" camera work (love the pan around with the 356 in the distance)!! And the twisties (and the lose!)...great stuff.

    Thanks!

    Cheers,
    Lisa

    This video was part of the ones Porsche offered on thier web site a few years ago when they were celebrating "40 Fast Years". Anyone know where you could find a "complete" set?

    Great clip!
    Those cars are very physical to drive on the limit. My gripe was the stock seat, like sitting on a beach ball. The seat's coils must compress 2 inches making it difficult to stay seated and reducing feedback through the seat. During hard corniering hold the wheel tightly and brace your left foot just to stay in the driver's seat.
    Still impressive in the day considering how poorly muscle cars cornered.

    Sounds like you are describing my first autocrosses in my '68, before I upgraded seats.
