well, you either modify the hood or the front latch panel.

Hot rod versus stock buyers. Let’s not forget the 930 was the luxury flagship of the line. I would take a 3.8 on efi with a close ratio gearbox in an iroc look g body over a low powered stock 930 with 4spd and AC every time. A gamroth engine can easily run $50k. I can get a roach 930 for that.

But it is important to remember that not all the Porsche faithful like the 930 concept, that of a heavy GT car, overcoming aerodynamic drag from tacked on flares and such with brute power.

Porsches used to be about overcoming the odds with less, providing a nimble, tossable car with enough very reliable power to make a great driving experience that can win. Sort of the rapier vs. the battle axe.
I think 930's are to much like the modern Porsche in this way and people are searching for that old Porsche experience with these NA hot rods.

You think that's a $200k car? I Don't.

It’s the same style RSR backdate by the same builder as the Orange car that went for $226k last winter. But this one has the engine mods you mentioned. Not by Gamroth but still good power

And one of the reasons I started this thread. So I don’t either.

that is why i sold my 86 930 a couple of years ago and got a M491 to strip out and make into lighter and more focus 3.0RS-SCRS type tribute.

I referenced this car below in my original post. The seller hit a home run. Great timing & a high quality build that checked all the boxes for a number of wealthily buyers to bid it up over $200k. Note: I saw the car in (2016) Monterey and it was exceptionally nice. Engine was built by Jae Lee @ Mirage International who has build engines for Singer.
