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. |

It may be that the old bod is not up to building another car but that 818 looks like the cat's ass....a modern 914. Going "lights out" while laying on a creeper don't appeal much to me.
Lookin' good. I dunno if the "build for under $15k" is true or not, but it's tempting. |

Not sure it would be a favorable class as it's not even a kit car based on a production model. For the cars it would likely class against, think: "Trailer-riding-fire-breathing-monsters"... But it'd be one hoot and a holler of a car to drive.... -Josh |
