At least in XP.
A fantasy of mine is to keep my car all Porsche and put in a 993 3.6. While the car would be +/-100 pounds heaver it would have over 300hp (with Varioram) and around 250lbs of torque. It would be a great hill climb car able to compete with the big bore modified cars. OK, but then what do you do the rest of the year? XP rules would dictate ballasting up to 1997#. Are you kidding me? So the only way to be competitive in XP is to convert to a Suby or shove in a twin turbo motor, just like everyone else. Annoying. |

High HP works only when you're OTG, whereas light weight works all the time..... Just something to file in the back if your mind. At some HP/Torque point, a weight increase becomes inevitable.
Brit has doubled his HP with an expense that an AC Porsche motor cost that would more than double..... while maintaining the low CG that is something I would not give up. There are few even semi-affordable options that maintain that low CG and none of them say Porsche on em'. |
