Ha, heres an idea! What if Porsche were to rebuild a new 944 S2 or 951 engine today. 4 cyclinder would be the only requirement. Any estimates on what they can do with it based on their current technology?

My band! We have our own studio for recording. Thats why we take so long. No time constraints. (we also do our own label work and publishing so at the moment) We are doing professional mixing and mastering at one of the best studios on the East Coast. (they do like all the big names top 40 pop and rap, and some rock) I should change my profile though, it realistically looks more like a Jan-April sometime release. Dont worry, all of rennlist will be aware when its released! We have a big marketing plan being worked out now. For now though, we are keeping everything tight under wraps.

re
Apples and Orange is it in a nut shell. I had a 1987 SVO Mustang 225hp and did not make it past 130k before needing a complete rebuild. 951 200k plus and still running strong with no Mods nor smoke.
These car are built to last, with very good performance when they were new. Most Mod'ed cars you find today, Jap or American will not last the time your 44 will. You go crazy with mods on any car and you kill the life span.
Enjoy your car and if want want a cheap speeder, Mustangs are a dime a dozen, Honda are the same... Chevy has something Dodge.. nothing.
