Worlds First Supercharged LS1 Porsche 911

SubaruKid37 · Nov 27, 2004, 12:55 PM

have you ever wanted a slightly bigger engine in your 911? Why not stick an LS1 V8 in it

Is this madness or just a whole load of fun?!!

[font=Verdana]A 911 with stock engine is hard to handel but this thing have to be very very very hard to control with all that weight over the rear axel, but i think it's a cool car and it's definitely unique.[/font]

Damn that thing would be a ***** to drive

I'm positive the LS-1 ruins the weight balance of the already rear-biased 911, now it would be like 30-70 F-R. Which means impossible to control.

i have read that it has been modified to be able to handle better than the older Porsches which were notoriously bad handlers, especially in the wet! (my uncle has told me that if i ever buy a porsche and drive it in the wet, i am really stupid, because he totalled a customer car whilst driving in wet weather, but i guess he hasnt moved with the times and the newer cars

)

IMO the spoiler doesnt look good on the car...great idea for the creators...but why

A car that is difficult to handle is not necessarily a bad handler.

12 inch pianist · Nov 30, 2004, 12:52 AM

No but there is a line and older 911s were on the bad side of it

Dude the 911 Carrera RS ('72 I think) is considered the best 911 ever made!

I think it was 1973 and it was very hard to control.

It's unique.. I'll give it that. And i would be worried about weight balance.
