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. |

I understand that people want to go faster, but what's the point of running a Porsche without a Porsche motor?
If you want to drive a subie so bad, use a damn subie for your racecar. I never got that ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Bring your finly crafted German knife to one of my gunfights and you'll figure it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) My engine is about 210-215hp - 175ftlbs on the dyno. I say about 210/215 as when we did the dyno work it had the wrong valve springs. We never took it above 6K where it was 202hp and 175 ft lbs. It has 175hp and almost the same ft lb on the chassis dyno with the correct valve springs. I'd put on a turbo or SC, just not sure whether the bottom end would hold up to 250hp and +/-215 ftlbs. Nothing like ploughing new ground. |
