I'll be testing in a highly modified GT-4 Boxster this Friday at Willow Springs.

From the seller:

New engine and trans with only an hour on the powertrain for a shake down. Less than 5 Hours on all suspension components. Fresh paint and new 997.2 Grand Am front end conversion. I had the car built for POC (Porsche Owners Club) GT4 class. Car recently dyno'd at 275 WHP at a class weight of 2,876 lbs with driver and on Hoosier R7s. You can run PCA GT3 and NASA GTS-3 with slight adjustments as needed. Note that the engine is restricted to its current HP which gives it a flat torque curve... unrestricted the engine is capable of approx. 315-325 WHP so you can run a higher class if desired.

Your thoughts?

That is one nice looking race car! Are you going to be able to register it and drive it to and from the track? And what about your philosophy that the engine is a consumable? Are there suitable used engines available as/when needed?
