Sunday PCH run with the LP640

I was out again today with the LP640 (0 to 60 in 3.5 sec). I am amazed how fast it is.

The video I have for you all is me holding a digital camera while I am driving (no passenger). All of the files are large so please right click on them and save them to your computer and view.

It was fun and call me about Wed. At one point we were doing 110MPH on PCH. Most of the video was in 3rd or 4th gear and 80 to 110 MPH. Remember, my right hand is either holding the camera or shifting so If I keep the car in the viewfinder, I must stay in the gear that I am in. The Turbo S handles so well, one hand at 110 MPh is no big deal. Also, several years of racing cars and motorcycles helps.

This was a PCA gathering at the Hilton in HB. The HB Hilton is the site of the 38th annual Porsche Concours (May 30th, 31st and June 1st). I am in charge of displaying, judging classification and awards for all 200 Porsche cars who will be at the event. I am looking for a few people to assist me in this effort. Any takers?
