I have been looking around lately and doing research on a very cool car, the Porsche 944. They dont have much power, but there is a company that sells kits to put a chev 350 in them and is supposed to not affect the handling since an LS1 weighs close to a 944 engine with a turbo system on it.
now I am not a big fan of chevy's so here is my question. To buy a porsche 944 and V8 for the power with the brake kit and suspension is about $10-15K. Do you think a duster could be modified to handle (with a smallblock) as well as those porches? I have always thought of Mopars going in a straight line, never thought about turning them. I just think it would be awesome to show up at the road race course with a car twice the size of some ricers and beat them at thier own sport.
tell me what you think, what parts should I research? is this a stupid idea? who else thinks it would be awesome?
thanks
