QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Jan 6 2012, 02:52 PM)  BTW... the perfect 914 (IHMO) 911RSR front suspension. Boxster S brakes. Boxster rear suspension. Boxster transmission. VW W12 motor. The W12 will bolt up to a boxster transmission with no adapters. And it is shorter than a Porsche six. Can you say "914-12"???? That's funny, I just posted the same engine. I love it, but out of my budget range. Can you imagine the sound? |

QUOTE(rohar @ Jan 6 2012, 02:31 PM) Totally doable. I've got a close friend in Minneapolis with a W12 FWD GOL. Pulls mid 10s in the quarter. The same package should fit nicely in a teener. Pricey, but it'll work. While we're at it, let's install a couple JATO rocket boosters, and pressurize the cabin for lift-off. I'll bet we can get a deal on ceramic tiles from a mothballed space shuttle for re-entry. |

I'll bet we can get a deal on ceramic tiles from a mothballed space shuttle for re-entry. That would be RATO (rocket assist). JATO = jet assist take off. Did any of you ever read the Darwin Award's for the guy that strapped on a couple of RATO's to a 64 Impala? |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Jan 6 2012, 10:52 PM) I did some measurements of a Boxster up on a lift to see if the whole rear suspension would fit under a 914. It will... but you could not do it without flares. And it is one of my long term goals. BTW... the perfect 914 (IHMO) 911RSR front suspension. Boxster S brakes. Boxster rear suspension. Boxster transmission. VW W12 motor. The W12 will bolt up to a boxster transmission with no adapters. And it is shorter than a Porsche six. Can you say "914-12"???? There's a school in Sweden that has made a 014 on a Boxster chassie.... If the W12 bolt to the Boxster trans, does that mean that the Bentley W12 twin turbo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

So it would bolt to the Bentley W12 twin turbo, and the W16 also. |
