Easy Peter. . .
Lets look at it this way: In a few years it will be parted out because it is such an abomination, and some late 90s Corvette guy will get a good deal on a tweaked 350 and you will be able to pick up a turbo front bumper at a reasonable price. Yes it was massacred, but its been done, lets accept it, no matter how horrible, lets try to look for something positive......
OK Im gritting my teeth a bit as I type this......

oh... my... f***ing gawd...
what a f***ing slap in the face to all things holy.
Ok. Porschev, I can KINNNNND of understand b/c of the cost of jacking up pretty much any p-car motor (kinnnnd). couldn't drive one, even if the 350 had 700 hp (ok, 700 hp, maybe, but like a fat chick, as long as your friends didn't see you do it). BUT.... (pause) BUT... this is just too too much. is there some sort of ESPN highlight reel that these people are trying to make that would push them to do something so completely WRONG?
wow. i love finding this sort of sh*t on ebay and laughing until I cough, but this is beyond that. hail mary full of grace.
and i ain't catholic.

My vote goes for: "abomination".
This is a perfect example of, just because you can, does not mean that you should.
I'm just hoping that there was a salvaged title 993 underneath all that waste.

That's what happens when you breed with cousins. Accordint to the ad, it is a....
"1998 PORSCHE 993, 1977 PORSCHE CABRIOLET"
Look ath the wiper posts, it's a 77 cab front with the fenders, rear of a 98S.
and the best part...they want $125,000 for it!!!

I dunno...
I think it would be kinda cool to see a 993 whuppin everybody's drag racing *** on the strait track...
I have to believe that the non-porsche V8 mounted in the front of the non-porsche tube frame chassis uses (probably aftermarket) porsche body panels.

LOL, I love it in a weird way. Front engine for better weight distribution, 700hp from an engine lighter than the stock 993 engine.
It's just some random '77 911, it's not like he painted a mustache on the Mona Lisa, sheesh.
Of course, you'd have to PAY me $125k to be seen in it.
All we need now is ol' George to chime in about how Chevy powered 911's are superior in every way.
