I'm one of those Porsche purists, really particular about all the little details. I drive the crap out of my car, but I still make sure it has the correct nuts and bolt, so the concours judges don't give me any lip. I notice a lot of radically modified 914s here, just wanted to get a sense of how everybody feels.

My thought is that most people do another engine conversion purely because of budget. That is my case for certain. I would love to put a 993 twin turbo monster in my car and get the power I desire however when I look at the old bank account and start up the adding machine I find that I'm many uber dollars short. Even if I managed to scrape together enough for the engine I would be afraid to drive it because if it ever blew up I would need to hijack another Brinks truck to get it back on the road. So I picked a motor that was still somewhat exotic, easily makes over 400 hp and will cost me $1500 US to rebuild if I need to.
I voted #3 because I see nothing wrong with stuffing another motor in however I would personally prefer to stay all Porsche if I could. Why settle for less than you really desire just to keep the brand name the same? |
