Not really my cup of tea, but I wonder how a 996 Turbo would fare against this 500HP 914-8. I personaly like the /6's better.
Let me know what you think?

It has 18's K58's 10x18 and 13x18, 993 Turbo Brakes, 930 Transmission, 275/30 in front and 335/30's in the rear, and a 500HP V8. The car weights about 1800-2100 lbs. Scary Fast I bet.

My brother-in-law briefly had a Corvair into which a Chevy 327 mated to a Toronado transaxle was fitted backwards in a mid-engined arrangement (in the former back seat). Kelmark, or somebody, made the adapter kit.
It was REALLY fast. After driving it for 10 minutes, you couldn't stop grinning like the Cheshire cat.

yea, they can be insane. Like the guys in europe throwing bseries vtec motors into little coopers. Can you imagine what a fully built honda vtec motor in a little cooper would do
That thing would be a blast to throw around the canyons.
