The FASTEST CAR clocked on the Mulsane straight is the porsche 917 at 256 mph. NOT the Peugot

oh crap.....i pooped myself.....

Just imagine the insane amount of heat generated by the brakes, when it goes from 250 mph down to like 80 mph.

it's a 956, the chicanes were added before the 1990 race. the fastest a car has ever been clocked on the mulsanne straight is 251mph by the Peugeot 905 in the 1988 race, the 905. The video on here is straight from the movie "In car 956" which is a movie done based on the championship Rothman's Porsche 956 and the driver is multi-Lemans win driver Derek Bell, there are a multitude of tracks driven in the film including a record breaking run of the Nurburgring in Germany. The cars these days do not come close to the speeds of the large turbo Group C cars of the 80s.

amazing this car is fast wonder how fast they go around the track these days

umm im pretty sure its not porsche.. its either an audi r8 or an r10 and umm.. the only porsche it could've been would be the spyder..and the car doesnt look bright yellow and red to me

I believe thats a Porsche 956. This was pre 1987, the Dunlop chicane wasn't there in the video and it was added in 1987. The 956 was the fastest car in this time period, with the top straight speed of around 250 MPH. BTW, 917s were in 1969-1971 at Le Mans, then after that they where outlawed, Porsche made the 917/10 and 917/30 for Can Am, which where turboed.

Thanks i knew there wasn't a turbo in the 917 (that would kick ass!) im gonna change the description

The 917's werent turboed.. one thinks its a Nissan R88CP. Or whaterever.. 87, 89, same dif. Plus the 917's were in the 60's, and those werent 60's porches. I dunno. But thats more like 270-280. And they could easly go that fast.
