The might of the American work force from the '40's.

I'm not sure if we could do the same today?

Can't see it with one pole calling such things as an infringement upon their freedoms and the other unwilling to be bothered. We should all hope it never comes to that again.

20 years ago, Canepa’s first engine upgrade yielded a U.S. emission-legal 576 horsepower and a few years later the cars were developing 640 horsepower. The latest engine system upgrade now produces a staggering 800+ horsepower and 650lb/ft of torque, this from an engine that originally developed 444 horsepower and 369lb/ft of torque. This latest Canepa engine system upgrade for the Porsche 959 has been developed through the optimization of existing parts and engineering of new parts designed specifically for this application.

There must be a wiki - and likely books - on Gioacchino Colombo. You've heard of the Colombo V-12s?

Paul. where do they put the intercoolers on those 935s. for instance , the Blue Coral car: Are they tucked in front of the wheel wells? Cannot imagine these were run without substantial cooling of the load air.

I believe from looking at my other photos of the car that the intercooler is in front of the engine and fed from the intakes in front of the rear fenders. Air comes out of the intercooler and ducted through those long flex tubing on each side of the engine to the turbos. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
