The Porsche 934/5
By the end of 1976 the 934 was the dominant car in the European GT serious.
It was now also allowed in both Trans Am where it had proved very successful and by the end of the year in IMSA also where it seemed not quite up to the new tube frame AAGT cars like the Monza.
For 1977 IMSA approved several important changes to the 934, less weight, bigger wheels and tires, and a 935 rear wing. Add to this that it was now known that raising the boost to some 22 pounds could produce close to 600hp with little reliability compromise, and the 934 became a very competitive package. Trans Am would also allowed this version of the car to run.
Porsche itself built 10 of these special “IMSA spec” cars, this evolution of the standard 934 was soon nicknamed the 934 and a half, or simply the 934-5
Some teams also converted standard 934s to the 934/5 spec and many would go farther still first adding the 935 rear fenders and eventually the complete 935 body package.
Now the Porsche teams once again had a real contender for the IMSA championship and they would need every bit of it as the Monza now had a full 6 liter 600hp engine of it own and full group-5 style body work including a duel element wing.
934/5s would win 5 rounds in IMSA in 1977 but would finish 2nd to the Monza in the championship.
They would win the Trans Am championship.
----------------------------------------
Porsche 934/5 for GTL
There are 3 versions of the car included
1st the Standard 934/5 cars with the simple round fender flairs
2nd 934/5 with 935 rear fenders
And finally cars with the complete 935 bodywork
All 3 have slightly different physics though they are all very similar.
Though no version of the 934 was ever said to be easy to drive the 934/5 was a quite a bit better than the standard 934. The IMSA changes addressing the shortcomings of car quite well.
Still a bit clumsy in slow corners it is much more stable in fast corners then the standard car.
Basic behaviour is power on under steer at least until you break the rear loose with power.
Mid corner throttle lift will bring the car bake to neutral balance. Though if you are not paying attention the tail will go around you.
It was said that 934/5s were often driven by lifting off and then going back to throttle many times through long duration corners.
The 934/5s biggest strength ageist the GTO Monza is mid range power. The sooner you got back to it the better.
