So you are using a 951 transaxle? This is going to be a great project...

Yes, I found the ratios more advantageous and the Turbo S (AOR) appeared the best so I found one of those. If the 160 mph top end is too slow i still have the 5th gear from my old na gearbox to get the top end to 200 mph. Somehow I don't think it will be necessary.

In Greek mythology, the Chimera (Greek Χίμαιρα (Chímaira); Latin Chimaera) was a monstrous fire-breathing creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of multiple animals: upon the body of a lioness with a tail that terminated in a snake's head, the head of a goat arose on her back at the center of her spine. The Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. The term chimera has also come to mean more generally, an impossible or foolish fantasy.

Who knows! A month?

chimera was also I believe a model of TVR.
good luck with 200 mph...190 tp 200 is a big jump.
keep us posted on the porschev.
and while GM is seeking protection....they should build 968s!
