O wow

[81911SC]

Isn't those the guys who rebuilt the 917 on youtube?

Beauty about Porsche's, don't change something that works, but instead perfect it.. Chassis are so similar from generation to generation..

[Frög]

That's the front bumper you need ;)

I will, the day this car dies, I will strip it and make it RACE! And it will have that! Here, post-facelift, but still:

I've seen it before on here a couple years ago but it never gets old. I especially like the mocha color.

[Black4DrEK]

OH MY GOD!!


^^ Thats exactly what i said!!:yes:

Call me crazy but I'd do a 996/997 GT3 body conversion on a earlier model 911 and then put an LS6 in it.

Never seen that before. I wonder how close the weight of the LS is to the boxer.

[speedminded]

Never seen that before. I wonder how close the weight of the LS is to the boxer.They compare the cast iron LT1 with aluminum heads as being the same weight as a 930 Turbo engine so you know the aluminum LSx is considerably lighter. I knew a guy that had an LT1 in a 911 in the 80's. Renegade first started putting them in 911's in '82.

Take them the car and they'll do a turn key LS1 conversion for $8k out the door...

"Reduced weight of the LS-1 is also a HUGE advantage over the "big" 911 motors. Weighing less than a completely dressed 3.0L NA motor, the LS-1 has turbo performance with much less than turbo six weight. With less weight in the rear and more power under your right foot, you can see why a converted 911 is so much fun to drive."

Sounds like an LT1 in this one (I'm trying to find good driving vids of an LSx in one and not just sitting around idling)

Wow. Undertaking a project like the ones shown surely has to be hella expensive.

that is fucking sick, but i bet it fucked the handling to hell

[Brown Man]

[BKgen®]

holy frosted balls on a cupcake.... i'm in love.

[DinanM3atl]

Already hard enough to work on one of those things...

LS6 in it? Just drop everything out the back...

[StraightSix]

911s are teh awesome.

Someone said it earlier, and it's something that I like about the Germans. It's typically pretty easy to upgrade a Porsche's performance with parts-binning.

[Z33_kid]

what a beast

[speedminded]

that is fucking sick, but i bet it fucked the handling to hellBet you think H22's in Civics and Integras does the same thing right lol!

The LSx is actually lighter than a Porsche's flat-6 ;)

[HypnoToad]

thats awesome

yea LSX motors work well in just bout everycar,lol

993 is the best..

[Elbow]

I hate this V8 into a Porsche talk. Porsche engines are beautiful, sound beautiful, and ad to the cars fun. I hate the mentality of swapping a V8 into anything these days.

Yessssss 993 sexiest Porsche's I think. Porsche IS or is tied for my favorite car company in the world. Ever since I was like 4 I have had Porsche toys, posters, etc lol.
