Attempt #3 at getting blackballed from this BBS:
I really think I will do this conversion to my new Targa. Frankly, I am a performance man, not a marquee man. PORSCHE fills the bill nicely, except for the outrageous prices. BTW - NO! I do not believe that PORSCHE parts cost a lot to keep the riff-raft out. They do it because 1)the cars need service and parts A LOT (therefore demand) and 2) we are dumb enough to think we elite because we pay too much for sparkplugs. :P
The LS-1 is all aluminum, makes 345 Horsepower with around 310 ft. lbs. torque, weighs less than the normally aspirated 3.2 and NEVER needs a valve adjustment nor a head stud replaced.
I love the looks and handling of the 911. I love the very high quality feeling it baths me with every time I sit in it. And I look forward to having much more reliable, inexpensive power at my beckon call. All for less $ than a rebuilt 3.0!
If you don’t like that – I will be the one relaxing in the paddock waiting for you to finish. I know you wont have time to insult me because I won – you will be too busy adding oil, adjusting valves, and praying you don’t lose something important on startup.
Whew – I feel better!
BTW – I do love PORSCHES and admire their technical wonderment as much as anyone. But I love driving even more.
