All About The Porsche 904 - 2
...It's really not surprising that this powerhouse won hands down. Both the 904 and the 904 GTS have fiberglass bodies that were bonded to a steel chassis with a mid mount engine. The bonding process actually created a great deal of problems because corrosion occurred underneath the fiberglass and was not easy to spot. In fact it was seldom caught before much damage had occurred. Another problem was how the bodies were actually made. Sprayed chopped fiberglass was sprayed into the mold which meant that there was no consistency between cars for the thickness. Throughout the years Porsche continued to hold their share of the market with this design. As the 904 evolved parts remained easily available for both the street and race track models. Today the 904 has become known as the Carrera GTS and it remains one of the best Porsches ever manufactured. This fine piece of machinery opened up this years race track and will eventually be the replacement car for the current 917. It also continues to hold a stronghold in the street version and this twin cam engine is likely to be around for quite some time. There is no question that Porsche has a fine reputation in the car industry and has had for as long as one can remember. Whether we are talking about the 911, or the 904 from an era long gone to the up and coming Carrera GTS, if you want to stand out from the rest buy Porsche.
