He asks me if I want to run, and I told him not on the street. He says he knows a place, and after a 10 minute drive we end up at deserted industrial park. I had a little surprise waiting for him:



The experience made all of the time and money building my car worth it!

This brings me to the question; can a 944 N/A be considered a sleeper?? I'm of the opinion that it can, but only to other Porsche owners. What do you say?

Dude.
There's a big motor in your car. :O
What kind of hp are you putting down?

Tom R.

is that from one of the GTOs that was in the train wreck?

If yes, Brad, it is 400/400 from the factory! Same as the pre 05 Z06, 05 + Vette.

holy **** that thing is big.

How many lengths? lol. Your 427 and probably -500lbs should be considerable.

GodSpeed

427? Thats not a 427.


Very sweet ride anyhow!

Reimu

Wow... That thing looks mean.

V2Rocket

Oops, my bad. The 427 is in the Z06. The LS2 is a....*vigorous calculator use*...366?

Thanks guys. It is indeed a GTO motor ('05 LS2). Power brakes, power steering, and GM A/C. I'm not sure what the numbers are yet. For mods it has a custom intake, a 92mm Fast TB (cable operated), ceramic coated headers, 3" catless mid, with a straight thru Magnaflow. The LS1 PCM was tuned by Tony at FAST. Custom install by German Performance.

I *highly* recommend the swap, if you're considering it.

The car is a BEAST!! And the sound!! With the 951 trans, you can punch it at 2500rpm in 2nd gear, and by 3K the back tires are smoking. 100mph roll-ons are borderline scary.

Here's a few more pics as requested:

that is an awesome pic!

NICE CAR!

Reimu

Last pic is pretty cool! So all together, how much did the swap cost you in the long run?

one word: Supercharger

C'mon Doc - everyone knows turbos are cooler.

Tom R.

a lot of guys on the GTO boards are putting Maggies on their LS2s.

What RUF wheels are those?

I asked about this a while back...apparently a roots or twin-screw would require a hood bulge. To keep the car natual you'd need a centrifugal...booooooooost
