Well the funny thing is I have 2 friends with factory five cars and they ARE scared, the 3.6 0-6 and the rest or just silly numbers for the cobra replica, on the street they can't get them to hook up as well. And both are running 400hp plus. Granted they sound cool, but I am running a short stroke chevy DZ 302, 10.5 1 rollers and all alluminun parted and polished heads, solid mount yadda yadda, the 911 V* sounds like a bat out of hell and make the hair stand up on the back of mens necks stand on end. and little kids run scared. I figure 400plus sitting in a 2500 lb chassis with of course the Perfectly stiff Porsche transmission, I did not build it cause I was cheap. The DZ pistond andcrank run 1000-1500 all day on ebay, and the rest off the mods and machine work mean i'm stting on 10k all day in this conversion(engine alone) I can buy a 3.0 with webbers and SSI's i saw yesterday for 5800. I built this car cause I wanted to. 400 HP revs to 7500 RPM and sounds better than a cobra running through sides pipes. Oh yeah and a torgue curv that can snap your spine like any turbo out there. I've seen the dyno rune for all these built motors, show me a dyno curve that lays flat at 300 from 2500-7500.
To the question of can I run it, I wouldn't. I don't feel thats in the spirit of PCA, i would love to take it out and enjoy the track, anyone should be allowed to do that. But compete, thats just not fair. DE why not.
I consider my self A Porsche file first and a car guy second, I love my Porsches more than any other car, But with tht said, its the car that gets the least amount of attention. I've had a 64.5 ragtop mustang and VW Beetle convert 73, within the past 2 years as fun cars for te weekends, and whenever i go anywhere they collect the everyman crowd, real geuine nice peolpe that you would enjoy to talk to on a regular basis. I have a red on black 3,2 carrera that most people won't even look at me in because they Assume I'm some pretentious porsche jackass. HMMMMMMMM. By reading all 30 pages of this thread I can see why.
If your gonna let boxters on the track, or 914's with 3.2's, and a whole slew of non original Porsches, why not a bad ass 911 v8, this is a hobby and all in good fun!!!!!!!
