I'm still here and it is a trip how big a deal everybody is making out of this project. Ha, Ha.
OK. The car will do 4.4 sec 0-60 according to a G-tech. The weight bias as I have said before is the same as a turbo according to a set of Rebco scales at Pro-Tech in Greenville, SC. As for using an aluminum block, if you can sell me a quality block for under 3,000.00 call me!! For now I will go with the iron. I think we all know that the air cooled turbo motor is not as light as many people would like to believe.
Also I test drove a 80' 930 with a few modifications and about 60,000 miles, beautiful car. And it was fast with about 375 Hp according to the owner. Now all I can say is that anybody that can drive a turbo fast on a autocross or even a tight track is a better driver than I, scary turbo lag, and I am sorry but my car will chew it up. My car is quieter, easier to drive fast and easier to keep maintained. To me it was an easy choose to keep my car.
I will continue to built, modify and improve the little bastard, hey to bad I couldn't get a personalize lisence plate with "Bastard" on it so no matter were I went I would hear the cries of agony from all the purest out there, Ha, Ha.
I will keep you posted.
