I'm sure this will get the New Years Day blood pumping for everyone.
Same-same build, only difference is engine sourcing a 3.2L 911 engine vs 3.6L Outback, how does the market value these respectively? I'd expect a premium for the 3.2L engine but how much? Note - don't get your knickers all in a bunch, just seems like an interesting topic of discussion.... Happy New Year all! |

The porsche flat six is just worth more.. That's why the suby conversion is cheaper.. It allows great performance and much lower cost.. This also translates to resale of the cars. Conversion 914-6 porsche powered command very high dollars typically compared to their suby powered cousins..

QUOTE(mb911 @ Jan 1 2020, 09:35 AM)  The porsche flat six is just worth more.. That's why the suby conversion is cheaper.. It allows great performance and much lower cost..

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If it’s not a real six, from my experience, the value is the sum of the parts, whether it’s a Porsche six, LS motor or Subi motor. I’ve yet to see a conversion sell for more than what the owner has in it. Since a Porsche motor and 915 trans is worth more, the build is worth more. Not saying it’s better.. I am a fan of all three. I bet... at some point in time, a tasteful (Porsche) six conversion will be worth more than the some of the parts. I personally have not seen it yet. |
