oh my bad. thanks

anyways, my dad and I were considering something like this with an engine swap. although a 951 tranny is the best idea for an engine swap, even those have their limits. We figured with a bit of custom work we could mount a large, powerful engine slightly forward, have a transmission up front that would clear the tunnel and some obnoxiously-high geared rearend. Of course, that would kill the handling character of the car so I may as well buy a Viper

Why not have a 944/951 that can drag race and not defecate its tranny and differential on the track?

If he pops a wheelie and smokes a "domestic" in that thing I'm all for it. You guys are crazy.

Oh and those sure look like RSX rims on the front.

I'm not much in to drag racing, but I think it's pretty cool. I can certainly respect the project.
