I have a Fat Performance 2258 in the Revenna green car, very sweet motor. Purchase price six years ago as a turnkey engine, not a build on a core, was $12k, compliments of the PO - cheap easy upgrade compared to a six conversion with a fresh motor. The silver car is a 2056, dual Webers. Agree, both are an improvement over the underpowered stock engines, but opinions vary...
I haven't put much time on the 2258 as I purchased the car as an almost completed project car last year. Of course at the same time my employer decided it was time to get busy again and the project is coming along slowly, hopefully by the end of summer. Then I can do a fair comparison against my Carrera. But as pointed out in the article, the cars are different. I agree the 911 is more refined, and the Fabspeed exhaust note is intoxicating. But then again, I enjoy the raw sound of the Webers behind my head. Different worlds, different pleasures, all good... |
