I went all in on a 2023 Porsche 911 Turbo

I would love to own this LS3 997 625HP 560 lb ft of torque:

This LS-Swapped Porsche 911 Transcends Tuner Communities

The 997-generation Porsche 911 S doesn't need much to be an excellent sports car. Though, an LS V8 is never a bad consideration.

The engine is mounted on the factory mounting points.

Or this 550HP 997 GT3 with a Subaru Turbo EJ25:

Porsche 911 GT3 with a Turbo Subaru EJ25

Faruk Kugay spent several months at his company DevSpeed Motorsports building the unique ENEOS Porsche 911 GT3 STI for the track. Faruk started with a wrecked 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 (997.1) without a powertrain. For the motor he chose a 2.5 L EJ25 flat-four from a 2008 Subaru Impreza STI. It...

These were both essentially rolling shells that the builders got creative with.

That LS swap sounds slick. V8 performance with 911 handling

8th 911 = must have been very smart work.

mama dont let your babies grow up to turn wrenches lol.

I promise. I have turned a bunch of wrenches.

I think I found around 100 cars (mostly on the side of a house) which I bought, and then I brought back alive. It was sometimes just a clogged fuel filter or a broken transmission. I never bought a car with a bunch of rust.

I am a good shade-tree mechanic and enjoy it as a hobby. There are still stuff out there if you like to work on cars.

I got really good on early Mustangs and early Porsche cars. I could pull out a Mustang V-8 in an hour by knowing the 5 wrenches required. I could drop an older Porsche flat-six in less time (3 wrenches).

I understand the history of the Porsche flat-six. I learned it quickly by trial and error. I also figured out the pre-computer Mustang V-8 which was less trail and more effort.

It's a great car. I got it for MSRP (16 months after ordering it) while trading my old Porsche for what I had in it.

I got it the old fashion ODT way by working hard and smart. Here:

Nice car... I plan on buying one, as soon as I get that winning lottery ticket!

Congratulations nothing like getting to splurge on something you want after putting in the work. That Ga red interior is going to look even nicer after we get another natty!

The cars today are better than in 1989.

This is my 8th (8 Porsche 911's). . I knew how to adjust the vales on the early ones with mechanical lifters. Like this one:

Best thing I ever did with mine was throw away that Marelli distributor and put in a bosch with twin breaker plates for dual ignition. I later installed a mallory electronic setup..
