Buy a Corvette
Air-cooled Porsche are about the "cool factor". I've been build these little dream cars for 40 years and every costumer has his/her priorities but dull generally isn't one of them.
Anyone can built "driveable" just like anyone can paint their living-room Navajo White.
This post is about building something special.

I just built a 3.9 engine with a standard upgrade of 993 SS cams and the engine ran great but crazy boring. John @ Dougherty Cams made us a 43X /109 and the engine came to life in it's 87 back dated RS. Incredibly flat torque curve and steady horse power all the way to seven grand. The cams would generally be considered too aggressive and the end result is WOW!.
Super Sport cams are "driveable" and 43X is WOW!
