Curiosity got me to pondering the above questions....
Suppose non-Subaru motor for the Subaru transmission and non-Boxster/Audi engine for the Boxster transmission. What about axles and hooking up to the drive hubs? One easier or vastly less expensive than the other? EDIT 2/21/2016: Now with pictures comparing Boxster transmission to 901 transmission |

Pat, you know the 014 is referred to as a "momentum car" that will lose in the straights but then catch up in the curves? For some people (you) that's as far as that thought goes, that's what it is so we're done. But for a lot of other people that "lose in the straights" is a symptom of a problem, a shortcoming, something that can and should be resolved. Fuck it, if we're losing on the straights let's make the damn thing faster and not concede anything ANYWHERE. It's human nature, when something has a problem that can be fixed it should be fixed. Don't rail against it, it's sweeping back the tide. We aren't museum curators, we're car guys, and we WILL go faster.
It's just fun. Fun is good, right? |
