We need three pages to this thread so I will throw my opinion in.

Would I add a V-8 to my SC? No. No way. I enjoy the air-cooled motor and like to work on it because it is basic and can live a long life. I also like screamer motors which the pushrod V-8 will not do.

Do I like American iron? Yes, I use a '71 Chevy C-10 as my daily driver with an ancient three-on-the-tree. It is very reliable and easy to work on. Plus I need it for my business, so practical also.

Do I drive a bastardized SC? Yes, I ripped the A/C out, have a Nardi steering wheel, K&N air filter, aftermarket stereo, Mobil 1 and Swepco 201. I plan to bastardize it more with fiberglass front and rear bumpers, tower brace, supertrapp exhaust, and sport seats w/ harness. Yes, it might drop resale value, but I do not plan on getting rid of it.

I like air-cooled cars that handle well. This means I must drive a Porsche 911. If I had to buy a 2001 sports car I would have to go with a Corvette or Boxster. Porsche with water is not my thing, it is just a car. The air-coolers are magic.

If Porsche makes that SUV I may rip all the "Porsche" logos off my car also!!! GD sacriledge!! I cannot believe BMW sold out to this fad of ill-handling, gas-guzzling, no-braking, and soccer mom driving SUV crap. Be practical and get a minivan because you know that SUV will never see off road conditions.

My only flame is that ks911 used a steal block instead of a custom aluminum mouse block. That may take the weigh issue out of it? Granted the CG will still be higher.

ks911 - Do you want to get rid of the blown 2.7L cheap? If so shoot me an e-mail!
