sure would like to see a cayenne motor in a boxster. Action Express Daytona Prototype tribute car!

I have a C6 Corvette and a recently acquired 2000 S and the Boxster would be a hell of a car with an LS2/3. Don't know how they'd figure out the transmission in such a package but I'd be interested if somebody made a full kit.

I believe there are several people that make full kits, just goggle it.

I have no problem with the V8 concept, but wish it had a 180 degree crank, so it didn't sound like a Korvet or a Nascar...that just isn't a pleasant sound unless you're into those types

Rumor has it that there is a V8 Boxster running around Mississippi..........

Funny thing, I just spent the weekend with Scott Mann from Renegade Hybrids doing a DE instructor training course. He said the 996 V8 has been bulletproof and there is a 2001 Box S roller sitting in his shop right now getting ready for a 430 HP LS3 motor. Yes this can be done now!

Here is a little teaser:

I'm on Scott's email update list for this project. Man I wish I had an S model to upgrade!

I wonder if his company will be able to do this to a 1997.
