Why??....or am I missing something?
|
Cause it's hella sick foo.
|
What else do you do with a longhood? convert it it to a 993 dragster convertible. duh
|
We all missing something...!
|
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little......
|
How can it not make you happy with all of those little smiley faces?
|
fast!
Just think how fast it is now that it has two engines!
|
Funny, the car got a much warmer reception the last time it was on here. I could do without the clear hood and velocity-stacks but it certainly isn't a clap-trap and I'd be interested in seen it go around a track.

Words to live by, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

I'd bet it would sink if you threw it in the water . . . and is therefore . . . a witch! A witch! To the pyre!
|
what they are not showing you is that it now has a Subaru motor in the rear -- that's for fuel economy.
The front motor is for when you want to pass somebody. The best of both worlds, see? |
But there will always be something even more confusing. It's your lucky day if this is your dream car. it's for Sale!
Porsche Fibreglass body on custom frame with mid mounted DOHC 1600 Isuzu and 5 speed standard (32k). Early Porsche 911 torsion bar suspension front and rear. Running, lights, brakes, etc, operational. Needs finishing. Price: $8,500.00 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1217357638.jpg |
One of the Texas craigslist sites has a 959 body kit for $2500 if somebody so inclined to kill a Porsche.

What's wrong with that? Looks well done to me. I doubt it goes around a track - I suspect it goes ALONG a track, for about 1/4 mile, and very quickly at that.
As far as drag racing, I have to say, seeing a nitromethane dragster run a sub-5.00 , 300+ MPH quarter mile is one impressive experience. The engine is about the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life. |
The world is full of people who think they know more than factory engineers. Many try. Few succeed.
|
All that weight up front helps hold the front done when doing those 1/4 mile runs I would guess, I bet it goes like stink.

It's called Hot Rodding that's why- so yes, I do believe you are missing something. Think about it- a motor that big would not have fit in the back- so where else would he have put it? I wouldn't build it- but I can certainly appreciate the level of work. |
