can someone post a pic and info from the ebay ad...I am blocked from it.

Gee, I hope he knows more about engine installations then he does about chassis dynamics or driving. If he's got a push in a car with that much rear wheel HP plus a few extra pounds in the rear, he's messed up the car more then he's "improved it". In fact, I could see that set-up being dangerous since drivers have a tendency to pitch cars into corners if they won't turn in which could be lethal in that thing.

Since when have Porsche Turbo's appeared slow to average person???

Didn't McDonnell Douglas already prove that with the F4 Phanthom? If you put a big enough engine in it, almost anything will fly fast.

To me it looks like the previous owner was reading too many Rice Racer and Hot Rodding magazines before he had this car made. He also seems to have a better understanding of legal fine print (10 paragraphs of it!) then of what it really takes to improve on an already great car.

BTW, reading between the lines, I suspect that the reserve is at about $19,998. If I really wanted to go fast for that money, I'd buy about 4 or 5 Gixer Karts or a vintage Formula Atlantic car or Super Vee.

PS: If that were my car, I'd pitch whale tale and rough it up a little bit for that "Mad Max" look. If you're going to have a big ole' supercharger like that, I'd rather have it poking through the hood in front of me so that my intended victim can see and hear it before I run them off of the road!

So what's the 0-100 mph time for a Ruf CTR Yellowbird? Or what about Juan's turbo car with 500+ HP?

5 seconds from 0 to 100 mph sounds a bit optimistic....How much HP does it have?

Ya... Some of the super charger mods for P-car engines could make some really serious horsies... There are several tuners in Pano and Excellence talking about 700+ hp. THAT would be sick, and it would fit correctly too.

To all the P-car "purist's" lighten-up... I'm pretty much a purist too, but that car could be stupid sick, especially if you decked it out with full CF or FG to lighten the load a bunch. Imagine that car striped to race wieght, with some 9's and 11's. Crazy!!!:D

Want to see sick? Just tell Juan about this car at that price. HA!

Major problem with this guy's claims! Sure the car probably make the 600 or so HP necessary for a 9 second run but there is NO way in hell that anything but a G50 will survive the launch required to run that time and even that is questionable. I've destroyed Ford Toploaders running 10's in a 3200lbs car, the same car shattered a couple of u-joints, bent the rearend required a new housing and stiffening brackets and twisted the original 4 lug setup requiring a switch to 5 lug. Even assuming he's making more than 600 HP and launching it soft it would still be hell on the driveline. Then there's the problem of getting a 911 suspension to hook up at the drag strip and if it did he'd definately have to have wheelie bars to keep from standing it on the rear bumper (kinda fun BTW). Besides 9 second 1/4 mile times means anything from 9.00 to 9.99 and believe me there is a huge HP difference between the two.

I'm not saying the car can't run in the 9's but it won't do it for long with a P-car transaxle. Below is a pic of what an 11 second launch did to a top-loader input shaft before I switched to a 9310 tool steel shaft. As you can see running this fast puts tremendous strain on the driveline.

9's on street tires??? not going to happen IMO

Sure if they're drag radials and you're running a drag racing suspension setup. They even have race classes for these setups, still I don't see a 911 doing it.

anyone

here ya go smitty:

"Not to offend any Porsche purists, but about the only way to make one of these road hugging little slot cars better is to marry American ingenuity (pronounced ENGINE NEW ITTY) with German precision. This was a 1977 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo when it was born. It is reborn as a DOPPLEGANGER on steroids that makes the Flat 6 turbo powered coupes come up short. Lurking under the whale tail of this bright red rocket is a 383 CID (6129cc) supercharged V8 that develops approximately 3 times the horsepower produced by the original 2994cc exhaust gas reinforced 6 banger. It is fresh. It is fast. It is fun. Hop in, buckle up, and get ready for some serious FAHRFUGLUFTEN – this baby flies!



Nobody is claiming this coupe will out handle its stock competitor on a road course. A few hundred extra pounds aft will cause this car to push a little in the corners. But how do they compare in raw power? The new 911 Turbo claimed to accelerate from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds in 1977 with an advertised top speed of 154 mph. This modified Porsche will reach 100 mph in 5 seconds and is capable of a quarter mile ET in the low 9s. A full roll cage is installed to satisfy sanctioning bodies, so this car can be as much fun in competition as it is on the street. Everybody likes something different. If you are the type of person who loves a sleeper, this Porsche is it. Except for a notable V8 roar and some extra ventilation, this coupe maintains a basically stock profile. This hot ride is not for everybody. Anybody who can afford one can own a stock Porsche. This car is for the person who has a sense of adventure and a bad case of lead foot.



Here are the specifications: Brand new crate 350 Chevrolet engine stroked to 383 CID – Brodix cast aluminum 2.02 heads, Wieand intake manifold and supercharger, Crower bottom end, Erson roller cam, and Holley dual feed 750 cfm carburetor. Mallory ignition provides the hot spark this hot rod needs. Up front, dual radiators with temperature controlled electric fans keep this car running cool in any conditions. Uniquely designed air intakes at the front of the car ensure good air circulation, just as the cleverly designed, louvered rear spoiler acts as a ram air filter for the engine. A Porsche 5 speed transaxle handles the gear changes and four wheel disk brakes decelerate this car almost as fast as it accelerates. Huge Yokohama Mama steel belted radial tires surround custom aluminum alloy billet Boyd Coddington wheels. Professional race mechanics in Southern California assembled this spectacular blend of German design and big, bad American horsepower. The vehicle is titled and passed smog tests there. There is less than one hour run time on the new engine and while the body has over 100K miles, every component in the drive train and suspension is in top condition. The interior shows wear, but the original tan upholstery is in good condition without rips or tears, the carpet is OK, and all instruments work. A removable steering wheel aids in entry and is also an excellent security device. The sexy, wide bodied coupe has an electrically operated sunroof"

POS

Well I have to agree that this car probably is a pos but let me play devils advocate here.

Since porsche has now come out with there own version of the v-8 in the peppervagen, what if this thing had that engine in it instead.

Would that be more acceptable than the white trash chevy version.

I mean really, it is not my cup of tea and not the way I would spend money on a car but it always makes me laugh when I see the uproar from a V-8 conversion.

That car was probably a pos before this was done so I don't imagine it as a big loss.

It isn't like it is such a rare car that we couldn't afford to lose it.
With or without the original engine it would more likely end up like so many before it wrapped around a tree or in a ditch, to be hauled off to the scrap heap:D

The Chevy engine likely weighs less than the chili pepper engine.

I don't know why 9's are impossible. I've heard of 944 turbos that run 10's and the ebay car has instant low rpm torque from the supercharger.

Awful lot of stats for an engine with less than an hour on it.

If it is running 9's then for $20K that car would be a deal. I challenge anyone to build a Porsche that will do 9's for $20K. Even with somewhat of a hack job... 20K is change.

IanW505, if its such an amazing car why are you selling it? Just wondering.

This car is in Vegas, maybe it's tabs' ride?

terry, i'm not selling it, i was just posting the pictures and write up for smitty to see, since he was blocked from the original E-Bay ad. I think it's kind of redicilous myself.

-Ian

How about an LS1 aluminum block (107 lbs.), now we're talking! I would definately install a transmission safety shield to protect myself from the scrapnel!

Mark

I would love to have my hands on it for a weekend! I would test it like it has not been tested before....
