So it certainly appears if one uses BAT as a reference point that weapons grade 914/6 builds have been fully excepted as “worthy” the Porsche market.
Nearly all of those builds, however, have been high dollar endeavors, and while highly impressive machines many of them seem a bit compromised for actual road use or touring. Any thoughts on where 3.0 and 3.2 L builds that are not taken to the max now trade? |

From track only car to street hotrod. I added an interior, full exterior refresh and repaint, muffler, and softened the spring rates. It's loud on full throttle and high rpm, but as reasonable short drive toy. No heater, no wipers, no radio, still has the fire system and the 3.4 makes probably 260 hp at the wheels with the muffler installed (dyno at 290 rwhp with open exhaust).

What type of dyno were you on? That Black is super sexy....... |
