Can your Porsche 911 do THIS?
Kelly-Moss Porsche 911s may be the ultimate example of air-cooled Porsche heaven




Quote:
The white car is the AWD version of the two you see here. It has mucho modifications to just about everything on it. The engine is a 3.8-liter flat-six with MAHLE forged pistons, CP Carillo rods, an Eaton supercharger and more modifications than you can shake a camshaft at. Horsepower is listed by Kelly-Moss at 430 at the wheels, with 400 wheel lb-ft of torque, which has quite an effect on something with a curb weight of just 2,600 pounds. The suspension boasts those triple-adjustable long-travel coilovers with Reiger shocks and a continuing litany of parts too long to mention here. It rolls on Braid Rally wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich KO2 off-road tires stuffed inside custom-flared fenders. The list of modifications goes on for about two blocks.

I am happy for that guy that modified a 911 to fit his needs. I will stick to pavement and have fun on the road in my 911. I would not want that 911 above. To each his own.

Actually, the 3rd paragraph of the article reads:

Quote:
“So, the first car, the guy walked in off the street, never met him before in my life, and he said, ‘I hear you guys build really cool cars. Can you build me a 911 I can drive on gravel roads and if I get an elk I can throw it up on the roof,” said Jeff Stone, president of Kelly-Moss Road and Race, which built this car and several others like it. “That’s no dumber than anything else anyone’s ever asked us to do, so why not?”

It started as a customer request, now figures there is a market for such an animal.

Not my first choice either. I'd rather have an old Bronco with a big stroker motor in it for such a task.

I'm still trying to get a good shot of the rear engine lid. Not sure if it looks like a deformity in real life or something more Abarth-like.

Well, they are not shy about covering some new ground with an old chassis.

Did you see the chrome fan?

Guess it resists sand better.
