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? |

All the above reasons are why I want to do a rotary. Light, high revving to match the trans, and not a lot of torque.
