The opposition of the Porschev conversion doesn't have anything to do with reliability, power, or even economics. It has everything to do with arrogance. The 911 is an "exotic" car meant only for "wealthy" people. If you want to go fast then spend $25G upgrading your turbo motor like all the glamorous rich people do. Then you can brag about what you have and what you spent to get it.
The whole concept makes me want to barf. I would be ashamed and feel stupid to tell someone I spent that much money to badly do what the SBC can easily do.
These 911s are old tired cars that have been given a fun new life. Porsche doesn't care about them. They're selling SUVs to the fancy cheese and fish eggs crowd.
An interesting observation is that it is not the 930 group that opposes this conversion. They are generally secure in their choice of Porsche hotrodding. It is the N/A old 911 owners. I guess misery loves company.
