Enjoy it! I'm sure its fast! If thats what your goal is. But any true Porsche enthusiast will agree with me. Just like any Ferrari die-hard fan will agree that a Z06 engine in a 308 is gross regardless of how fast it is.

Oh and 250-300whp can be done with a 3.2L NA. It may not be cheap, but it attainable.

What's a Porsche 2.7 liter, 3.0, and 3.2 liter long block cost then a rough estimate on getting each to over 300whp? A true Porsche enthusiast will be able to throw that number out rather quickly...and a true Porsche enthusiast will admit to the inherit head stud problems the 2.7 liters had

Have a family friend that owned a late 60's 911 that had never been touched by human hands other than the guys that built it in Stuttgart. It lived in a humidity controlled trailer and only pushed off and on for concourse shows by people wearing white gloves. No mileage other than the original break-in and test drive by Porsche. I say "owned" because one of the hurricanes in South Florida flooded the trailer destroying the car with salt water. Insurance covered it well but no amount of money could ever replace it. Not including his 1/2 a dozen or so other Porsche street and race cars he's a true Porsche enthusiast for you.

My question is, where's the true DRIVING enthusiast's at? There's a reason I can't stand most one-make automobile forums, members are all stuck so far up their own ass they don't even know the real reason they're into cars. Be a real car enthusiast and go out and build something more original than a showroom floor car...then drive the hell out of it

Thats my thing the Porsche people I meet that are real car guys get it. You either get it or you don't. You either play football because you love the sport or you're doing it for the chicks, the jacket, or your friends.

I'm not into Porsches specifically. I'm into fast cars. Rare cars. Important cars. I'm not a Porsche owner, I'm a car lover.

I'm Jay G. and I approved of this message.

Damn right.

Some of you just have to understand not everyone is all about the nostalgia of a P-car. The owner wanted a fast car...he's got one. It just happened to be a 911.

I'm a Porsche enthusiast and own two. Yes this nearly 25+yr old narrow body 911 may be faster than my turbo, but who cares really? As far as I'm concerned, both owners are satisfied and do it for themselves.

lol. they still all look like frogs.


Me and the girl were up there also this weekend in my S2 to visit some friends in Habersham. We took 197N to 76W and then headed towards Dahlonega to the outlet store off of 400. I wanted to keep going on 76 and hit Blue Ridge but my girl wanted to go to the outlet store

The pic is from a "break area" on 76.

The Porsche engines are not cheap. A rebuild with factory spec rebuilt heads, new rings, gaskets, and new clutch (cause you might as well replace since the whole engine/tranny has to come out for a clutch job) can run $10-12k for parts and labor. I use to work at a Porsche shop and thats what my boss charged. He built some sweet NA and turbo 3.0L and 3.2L motors. A 300whp motor would probably run $25-35K depending on the components used. And yes, the 2.7L motors should be avoidable unless it is an original RS motor. Most of the Porsche guys swap out the 2.7L for a 3.0L or 3.2L. Also, the 90-94 stock 3.2L motors should be avoided. For some reason, Porsche didn't use any headgaskets and they end up leaking oil.

My whole point was any die-hard Porsche enthusiast will ask why when they see a 13b rotary in there. I understand its cheaper and faster. But its loses the heritage of the car. flat-6 aircooled with that distinct Porsche sound. Porsche should have never went away from the aircooled engines. I know you are going to say that its ridiculously to spend that kind of money on an engine, but its a Porsche, not a nissan or honda.

Sounds like the original poster loves the car and it doesn't bother him that it has a 13b. We have gotten off topic and thats my fault so this will be my last post in this thread.

Good luck with the car Jay. I'm sure its fun to drive with 333whp.

A $500 KA24 from a Nissan with a seriously unequal length header would sound like an air cooled Porsche. Let's not mention Subaru boxer engines or even a mildly built 1600cc+ beetle engine.

Most die hard Porsche guys that I meet thinks its retarded, you're right. Then I tell them the numbers it makes. Then they get my email address. Then we line up on the highway and they take pictures with their phone as I pass them. LOL like I said alot of these guys have seen the same stuff all the time in the p car world and it gets boring. When I go to a concours the real drivers, not trailer queen guys, love it. But then again the real trailer queen guys are lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills and smelling their own farts. Nobody like them anyway.

As far as the sound, sounds like an old carrera 4 cam with a huge lift and duration. The supertrapp kind of masks that its a rotary and most people cant tell unless I tell them. It is loud as hell,smells like premix, has a rollbar and giant oil coolers hanging down in the back. Those usually give it away.
