NTDWM - would have to change the blue seats for black ones and sort a few of the garish vinyls, but overall, I really like this.

It looks very nice IMO, a lot of work been put into that. Having a low revving 4 pot engine where there should be a screaming V12 is a bit of a let down though.

Agreed, but that compromise saves you quite a few £Million!

944 engine is meant to be a very good engine, could you shoe horn in a 928 V8?

Might be a bit of work as the 944 has a rear transaxle with a torque tube transmitting the power to it from engine via the trans tunnel, not sure if the 928 has the same setup or not or if it would retro fit onto the engine.

I thought the 928 had a rear gearbox aswell so assumed a simillar set up. that said, it your gonna do that you'd be better just to get the guy to build you one out of a 928.

The 944 turbo is really tunable, and the yanks were/are leading the way http://www.lindseyracing.com/project/index.htm
