    So is that front wheel drive ? I might be really dumb but that looks like a V8 , and not anything like a porshe engine. Unless they used a northstar tranny or something would'nt that mean it would have to be FWD ?
    I'm going to stop talking in case I am so far off someone needs to kick me in the nuts!

    It uses the stock tranny, and it's RWD. The engine is sitting exactly where it should be.

    kinda lame IMO, but its not really a bad idea for power. I think it might throw the handleing out of wack though. Probably some mad understeer! But not much room for the tranny.

    Super looking car. I have a V8 911 also and was wonder where did you get the carb bonnet with the flex hose? I want to go without the spoiler and your setup is needed to do it. Also do you have pics or templates of the shroud? If you choose to reply do so at [email protected].
