I know the sporto was made for a 2.0 flat six and I have heard varying reviews to the enjoy ability and more so performance. some saying it made a dud out of certain models?
I know sacrilege to the beast? so it made me thing how a sporto would be to drive with say a 2.7 s all ported out and outperforming any of the stock touring sixes but would you have to heavily modify the tranny and such? This must be where LSD and such come in handy? I have nerve damage in my feet so clutching it is getting painful to say the least?just looking for opinions and knowledge? thanks,Jo |

There are 901-based sportomatics and 915 based sportomatics. I suspect the torque limits would be similar to the trans on which there were based.
There was a guy back in the late 70s or early 80s who raced a sportomatic 911 in IMSA, believe it or not. I guess it can be done. Scott |
