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) |

I never got that ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If Subie made a mid-engined rear wheel drive sports car, I would. Which is why I'm eying the latest from Factory Five Racing... For me, it's not about the name, it's about the capability of the chassis. The 914 is a great platform, but the motor is more costly and less powerful and more unreliable compared to contemporary designs. -Josh |
