ks911, I think you weren't at collage (college) when they were teaching spelling!
Lets not forget that this is a 911 bb, and the people posting are interested in 911's in the main. You should expect some vitriol if you decide to talk about your kitcar in this forum.
About the topic in question, I think everyone would agree that Porsche stands for engineering excellence, purity of form and function and a beauty derived from purpose. The men who designed and built it are universally acknowledged as masters of their craft. They stand alongside great musicians, artists as writers in my estimation.
Appreciating heritage and tradition is about understanding that there are people who know more than you do, being humble in their presence and respecting and trying to understand the fruit of their labours.
Respecting Dr Porsches intelligence is something that you have failed to do with your conversion, and you are rightly ridiculed as a result.
The 911 has been the subject of continuous development for over quarter of a century, by some of the most respected automotive engineers in the business. It is probably the most thoroughly developed and sorted vehicle on the roads today. To sweep this work aside in some poorly thought out conversion which owes nothing to engineering and everything to hot-rod culture is I'm afraid butchery, to all who care about these things.
Spend a bit more time understanding why things are as they are, read some history books, and then if you think that Dr Porsche was misguided and can reason why, then suggest this to the 911bb. Until you understand why putting a V8 in a Porsche is bad idea you will be subjected to abuse and become arrogant and defensive as a means of protecting your ignorance.
