i have been searching all night, and can't seem to come up with how much different the car will handle with the added weight etc etc...Thinking of doing a v8 conversion but if the handling of the car diminishes greatly, i won't really want to do it. Anyone want to share some info?
I know how well my 914-4 handles, but what will change with the v8? |

I like the way my car handles and drives but I'm running a 930 limited slip transmission, a soft set of springs, Koni's on soft, power steering, A/C and a soft clutch and pressure plate, along with tons of insulation. I get crazy good traction off the line and smooth gripping in the turns. The quick Zero to sixty is great but the sixty to a hundred is better. Choose your own poison and live with it !!!
