That's just me.

Now, if I had a 944, the Ls1 motor is in there in a flash. Now are are taling torque.
i have no clue, but i can tell you why i was thinking about it.
1)DIY 3.4 porsche $8,000.00 maybe, will it be reliable??? or do they have the same issues the 2.5,2.7 and the 3.2 do??
2) DIY supercharger $6,500.00, will it be reliable?
3) subaru conversion $5,000.00 will it be reliable? yes. will it be fast? yes.
will it still be the best looking convertible on the planet? imo yes
