The Corvette motor is a relatively tall vee, and look at where he put the rad! Way up high above the engine in his Whale Tail. That can only have a bad influence on the handling. BUT... reading his site it looks like the car is only used for show and drag-racing anyway so the only time it needs to turn a corner is manoeuvring in the parking lot.

Some good points, there.

I must agree with Joel....but then why make a Porsche a dragster? That's one of the reasons Dr. Ing. Porsche would roll in his grave: to make one of his great handling cars a dragster! Porsches were made for circuits or European roads (with bends).

ppl like that confuses me too badmihai.

some ppl think a v8 is the best option to make a car go quick that really had no provisions for that type of engine.

wouldn't it be easy to buy a car with a v8 already and improve on that? :roll:

hahah, that was a dumb thing to do....Why mess with a Porsche?

Finally, someone put 2 and 2 together... a European car with American power... just like Carrol Shelby works for me!

i wont comment as i am the type of person who would put a zl1 in a golf kart just to prove that it could be done.

Why mess modifying a 178hp engine, when you can slap a 345hp engine in it. I think its a great sleeper. No one would suspect an older porsche to be that fast and sound that awesome.
