"...You don't want to race a 911, it's a terrible car..."

Bombshell:  Porsche had not clue the 911 would be any good as a race car

Brumos Porsche of Florida is no ordinary dealership as anyone remotely interested in sports car racing well knows so, while this is a promo for them, I'm guessing you will enjoy hearing racing  legend Vic Elford tell the story of how Porsche was completely clueless as to the then new 911's potential as a race car in the early 60's.

As Elford tells it in a panel discussion which included Brumos VP Hurley Haywood,  he had to beg for an early 911 to go rallying with.   The rest is, as they say, history.
