There are a few guys on Rennlist who have built some offset crank i4 Porsche motors very cheaply which are circa U.S. 450-500whp. I believe they make a strong argument for those of us that actually want to drive our cars with Porsche motors in them. Nobody is wearing Rose coloured glasses here. We don't think the i4 P motor is the be all and end all. Some of us just prefer to stick with the brand and improve upon it. If there are others that don't give a damn about this, then they have options. The V8 is clearly the most popular and running a lazy n/a V8 does make sense in terms of service costs and general reliability, however so do our motors if they're taken care of. My car is currently representing the model and marque quite well and lapping at about Cup Car speeds. I take a great joy by achieving this and keeping with the original layout. Don't blame people for going with the swap though, just doesn't 'sound' right to me. Purely subjective of course.
