Default New Logo for Chevy Powered Porsches...

I know that there is a lot of debate about Porsche Powered 928's, and we have two of them, so I think we need a new logo... What do you think?

I worked for a guy that built a Chevy powered Healey and it had a similar style of badge...I remember Austin Healey within the bowtie. That car was brutally fast...provided you could keep it going in a straight line.

For the record, I live closer to Ann Arbor than Detroit.

I went the Chevy route and one regret I already mentioned is
"I could have bought a brand new GM 383 crate engine with 425 HP and 449 FPT for $5499, delivered to my door.

If the 928 stuff could be done at near the cost of the Chevy stuff, I'd have been the first in line. But at these Chevy rates, I could afford a whole new engine every 3-4 years
"

Now I'm stuck with about 100 less horsepower for a couple more years.

I just dyno-tuned my 87 with a 383 and got another 31 HP and 32 lbs of torque by tuning achip for $500... the car seems like a different vehicle its responsive and quick. I let the Porsche salesman drive it and he said it feels very much the power of the New Turbo! Best $500 I spent so far.

I had mine done a couple weeks ago on the dyno and picked up about 13 HP and 19 FPT. It cost $175.00. Maybe I should have paid $500 and went for the 31 HP.
