Then I wonder why he's so suprised at it's staying power.


hmmm. the next gen Porsche super car is mid-engined.


Hey, I read in Autoweek that the 914 was a failure in the 70's but more 914 were sold in the same time period as boxturds.

third paragraph from the end. I hate journalists that perpetuate myths like that.

Autoweek garbage

AutoWeak seems to have something against the 914 ... they've made similar comments in the past. I wonder what their favorite seventies sports cars are and if they've won their class at Le Mans.

I've read the autoweek garbage...

I'm more interested in the following:

''250- hp Volkswagen V-6 engine next year, but Wiedeking dismissed speculation that potential buyers would shun the model because it won’t have a Porsche powerplant. ''


So, say that Porsche gets this VW V6 into the Cayenne... Could this VW V6 could become a nice ''conversion engine'' and be legal for PCA events???

Also, saw this on the PP bulletin board:

Guy got the pics from Porschemania.
Apparently new from Ruf
911 turbo mechanical, 700bhp, 350kph

Looks like it's made from a boxster (with the rear taillights from a new beetle)... I think this thing has some potential!!!

I'm not certain why any of the current range of VW motors isn't "legal" for PCA events, if in a 914.
I'd love to have a W6 as a possible conversion though. And if it was PCA Legal, that would be even better.

But what do I know.

I used to like reading Excellence, but now I find it real boring. Like I'm reading the same magazine over and over again. The last one I looked at there was a story about a guy buying a turbo with the X50 option. big deal. That took the cake. If I do look at the magazine now I just go to Borders look at it but not buy it.
