Buy calls on G50s

Looks like the price of G50 trannies are going to go up. Look at what Factory Five is going to do with our beloved G50.

I wonder what the performance would be with a 3.2 or 3.6?

I looked at that a while ago. Looks like it'll be a "poor mans" ultima gtr.

Pretty cool car.....

BTW, a quote from their recent test at the track: …”linkage works but needs improvement, trans is great… hook-up out of corners is fantastic”…

Linkage will always be an issue in a mid-engined car. The savy Ultima guys install a cable-shift Cup (or similar) trans.

Anyone ever tried to reverse the engine/transmission on a 911 and thereby create a mid engined one???

Cool!, one forward and five reverse gears...

Doesn't the R & P have to be flip flopped? I think Dave Klymm (Fabcar) did a mid engine 911.
