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?

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.

Heck yeah, NASA isn't using them. Only seems right if I'm doing NASA TT events!

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?

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.

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

Yes, all the W12 blocks are the same. So it would bolt to the Bentley W12 twin turbo, and the W16 also.
