There’s a lot of content out in the world today. Much of it barely deserved of a spot in the YouTube line up. And then there is this film, a masterful look at the life and work of John Benton. Now let us all bow down at the alter of Benton Performance. These are going to be the best six minutes of your day. Fuck. Me.
Thanks to Silver Arrows for the tip.
Wheewwwwww, my God…
Amazing – Thank you A Continuos Lean!!!
He calls them 901s. Proper. He’s good but he’s pricey, as I and my ’63 356B Super can attest.
“Money is just an imaginary thing, the cars sitting back there, that’s real”. Spoken like a true car guy.
Can’t wait to find the right 912 project for me.
Man, that was inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Very cool! Also cool is that most of the shots of beautiful 911s driving around were shot at the crew pits at NHRA racetrack in Pomona (where I watched two races a year, every year growing up). I think Benton is based in Orange County but Pomona is a the Southern California home of the aftermarket car industry.

Really enjoyed the video, flipping kick ass.
Good eye Michael, That area is also part of a road course that has been used for club and now vintage racing since the 60’s. If you look at google earth photos, you can see the road course has left its mark…. And Pomona does have the most magnificent Hotrod Museum at the same Fairplex property. Worth a look!

“Tuning is the dark art, that makes all the difference…” Awesome, real tuning with a timing light and carb syncs and a screwdriver, not a laptop. Fabulous video loved every minute.
