What is it with people who can't read? I said "Maybe not a tired old 944 or 968, but with development you could have a very fast car." Also if the GM LS engines are so great why can't Corvette Racing seem to consistently beat Porsche?
All the while people keep saying that the 911 platform is "outdated", and "old technology". I guess it's not outdated enough that a rear engined car can't beat a Corvette on a race track.
The question is what is it with people who can't read statistics and realize that GM hasn't done much of anything in endurance racing? In fact, Corvettes didn't do ANYTHING until they stole the transaxle platform from the Porsche 924/944/968/928 series. They were the worst handling sports cars made until then.
Also, show me a Corvette that will make 1000hp and I'll show you Porsche 911's that will make 1200-1400 with two less cylinders. Not to mention Porsche had a 240mph race car in 1970. There is no comparison.
Also this is a Porsche forum. So if you don't know the history of Porsche, or say Ruf. Maybe you shouldn't be spitting nonsense here.
The Audi 5 cylinder swap looks cool. The 944 body was built at Audi Neckarsulm anyway. lol They used to put Rover V8's in Triumph TR7's. So Triumph responded with the TR8 which was a TR7 with a production Rover V8.
