That would be kinda neat to rip around in. I wonder how heavy that LS2 is compared to the flat 6...

Cool build for sure!

He's extremely knowledgable and has disposable income. Which is why he Frankenporsched an 81 911 into a never made 993 TT cab into a V8 supercar. At least he got the wipers right. Thanks Tony, now I can go to sleep...

While I'm not a big fan of V8 conversions, I don't necessarily hate them. What I do hate, though, is changing the body style so it looks like a different model 911.

I like the engine conversion. I know I wouldn't mind an additional 200 naturally aspirated horsepower in my car. When you consider how much it would cost to build a 400 Hp naturally aspirated Porsche engine the V8 conversion really makes sense... which is why RUF went that route as well.
The new center gauge is a bit busy

And we thought a standard 993 four spoker was ugly...

Not a bad conversion, but they need to do the brake upgrade.

OMG!!!!

"1981 Porsche 911 and a 1998 993 are about 80% the same" ......!!!!

"the reliability and power of an American muscle car".....6.0 liters 400hp...can be reliable

Poor Ferdinand... shall be turning upside down in his grave if seeing this...
