    Default Sold the 2nd hottest car ever.

    And bought THE hottest car ever.

    Some of you know and some don't. I drove to TX thursday night and traded my car. Just got back. 1975 911S Targa. Highlighter yellow, nice suspension ,almost 100% restored. Seeing all the old pics made me want to get something vintage again and not fast.




























    On the other hand.... what about vintage AND fast?



    Engine built by RX7 dot com:
    Street port
    Two piece 3mm apex seals
    large injectors 650cc/1000cc
    stock turbo pushing 13 pounds boost
    3" exhaust, Supertrapp muffler
    two stock Mazda oil coolers
    Haltech E6k
    Garrett Liquid to air intercooler with go fast bits bypass valve
    10,500 Redline
    Approx 325-350 horse at the crank
    Approx 9,000 miles on engine




    Down and back video

    Wide Open

    Idle

    Drove it back 1100 miles without a hiccup. I did however surprise a few cars on the way back. The thing is a freaking rear engine go kart. So light and responsive it was just amazing. I traded the Galant for it to a guy named Glynn, a minister with a huge passion for cars. Glynn was very upfront and honest about everything we did and the transaction went smooth as ice.

    As I said before I loved my Galant but since there are so many cars out there I want but cant have them all at the same time, I gotta do it one by one. I have wanted a 911 since I first saw matchbox cars and silhouettes of them to illustrate the iconic "sports car" look. 13b swapped 911? I had never heard of that one. I mean heck all the 13bs are sitting around since Ls1's took their place. I say put them all in 911s. Light, rev forever, nice balance and of course boost. Ahh it feels amazing to shift a Porsche from 2nd to 3rd at 13psi, 9k rpm, targa off and wail past an 03 Cobra. Wankel would have been proud.

    Thanks! It uses the stock 75 gearbox which is pretty strong and believe it or not, the stock 911 clutch.

    Can't wait to get it on the autox course. Do the whole thing in 1st.

    The swap has been cleaned up since those pics. In fact the idle vid shows the current setup. More pics after I get the bugs off.

    The car will probably get a fiberglass 930 (not slant) iroc front and perhaps a small whale tail. Don't need it since the IC is liquid to air. I love the car without flares too. Its as sleeper as an old 911 can be. You should hear the thing running without the discs in the supertrapp.

    Seriously though, this thing is faster than the Galant. 3rd gear on the highway starting alike 5 grand and not stopping until 10k is crazy. With the stock Porsche gears I can do 85 at the top of 2nd too.

    I love it and it looks like it performs well, but I would cry inside when I drove it because Porsches sound sooooo damn good and rotaries don't sound appealing to me.

    I wouldn't care so much once I mashed the throttle though . Nice car.

    I used to have a '76 Targa...

    It was yellow as well, but it had the whale tail. I need to find a picture of it...

    I hate the swap, but I have been a fan of Porsche since before you were born. Especially like the one you just got. I love the 70s 911s. Big ups to you from me.

    BTW, no tail. Later, QD.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    Very nice. I always wanted a 70's 911 to do an RSR clone.

    Youre not a fan of a turbo rotary swap into a vintage Porsche?

    Some people say the "soul" of the car is gone because it doesn't have a Porsche motor. I say lets line up on the highway. Let's compare lap times. Keep your "soul". If "soul" is mediocre outdated performance with 6 times the cost, then f it. I enjoy fast, crazy, different, and most of all fun. I could not afford the upkeep on a stock 911 turbo swap plus it would be slower. This car from 5k to 11k is balls out scary. Boost + Old School 911 = Cool no matter how you do it.
