bright red
with a white carerra decal
it'd be very different

dcautomotive 04-28-2009 02:32 PM

3.2 hands down
color? original color if not completely disgusting; otherwise i agree a family color would work, different shade.

Everything above, except I'm a big fan of martini racing paint jobs. You don't see enough martini Porsches around.

I guess the question is how aggressive a cam profile you want to run, assuming 10.5 CR....

I will guess 289.157 hp, SAE

I won't specify net or gross to give myself a fudge factor...

3.2 SS - what does the SS stand for?

Short stroke, which in this case means a 3.0 rod and 98mm pistons and cylinders.

Admittedly, I'm biased...but those early hot rods look so good in Gulf orange or tangerine.

JMHO, since you're polling....

3.2

GP White, blue fuchs and Carrera script. Classic!

Yes, I would agree. One of my favorite combos.

I echo the sentiments of other posters in that if this is not being done as a spot-on clone, then anything is possible. While I love the oranges, greens, blues, etc. of the era, I think a gray such as Audi's Aviator Gray would look damn good...a shined up primer look. If you were to add script, possibly shadow it in so it is still understated.

Randy, I think your HP numbers are off. With the proper exhaust you can get 289.638... :D

my vote is signal yellow
 
This car went to Mexico to race on the vintage series down there.

Signal orange as above or my favorite that baby blue gulf. Bob Jones did a 3.0 , kept the CIS increased the compression and some other trick bits and it ran as sweet as my 2.7 mfi . I could not tell it was CIS

I vote Viper Green, but of course I am biased. Mine was Malaga originally and I was really close on changing it but the green won me over.

Hi,

Your Fuchs are 8" front and 9" rear, right?

twistoffat 04-19-2011 06:03 AM

Love the orange and green suggestions.
I also like White with green decals

Black w/ orange stripe and either black or orange wheels. Too sharp! Good luck.
