Pretty car...



...but it sounds like an alien spaceship!

I'm leaning towards the Z car. However, I wouldn't do an LS swap. I'd go with a turbo 4.2 to keep with the inline engine theme. That's just me though.

ask me how I know..





im tellin ya.. do the Z.. and just FYI.. the Zs prices are starting to go up retardedly.. so if you can get one cheap.. do it.. and if you get tired of it youll get your money back more likely than that tom sellek mobile..

^^^ Amir very bad azz!! Yeah I know the prices are crazy on the 240Z! I won't tell how much I can get one for but it will cost more then double to ship it

Back in my AutoX days in the early 80's a friend was running a 240Z with a 327 transplant. It worked well all things considered.

I like 944's too but.........parts pricing vs Z? Aftermarket component selection vs Z?

From a uniqueness perspective I don't see a lot of either of them on the road or hiding elsewhere. I'd have to say I see more Z's than 944's though.

From a saleability standpoint I'd have to say the Z would win easily.

Sieg Yup I've seen it follow every time he post new stuff!! Very cool.

Nope I really don't have room for either so no way on both.

I was out at Laguna Seca a week ago and both were on the track. Off camber turn and you could see the 944 carry more speed and keep the outside tire flatter. Could've been the difference between the two car's set ups, could've been the platform...who knows...but I liked it better.

Cool factor? That's a toss up. They're both awesome!

I've thought about this:

(click on the 944 link at the top)

...but the People's Republic would never let me register it!

I hope you do this buddy

P.S. I prefer the later model 944s personally.

Yeah Ron I hear you, just something about a Porsche that says cool! And I agree the later models do look the best.

As far as Porsche..... I'd love to do a 928 LS twin turbo.

It's looking that way Vince! I did a 928 also for a guy, now that car fought us the whole way! but yup very cool!

Had an instructor in front of me years ago in a Z and he lost it trying to lose me.

I do like the 928 idea though. Those cars have always had a soft spot in my heart for them.

Just looking for something different, yes cool cars but they also come at a higher price for admission!

Trey which 4.2?? Interesting

[glassman]

Buddy of mine has a 240z hes doing an LS swap in. Soon I hope. I have his 6cyl4spd on my side yard in my awning for sale, pretty clean, but the LS is the same or lighter....but waaaaaaay better.
And ya, a 944 with an LS or a 928 with an LS or a Miata with an LS or an S2000 with an LS and on and on and on.....

putanlsinanything.com......i gotta buy that domain lol

Rick, Chris Porter can give you the ins and outs of an LS install in the Porsche

[waynieZ]

I like the Z all the way.

[Shmoov69]

Z car all the way. Especially if its able to be bought cheap. Honestly, I think there is a much bigger market for resale with the Z also.
Bitchin little cars

Personally I would do the 240. I think it's a great looking car that can look absolutely bad ass with a few mods. I don't mind the 944 but don't like it nearly as much.

Oh, and it would definitely, 100% get an RB26
