The engine bay of this daily driver is loaded with a 6.2-liter (LS3) V8 engine from a C6 Corvette. Despite the manually shifted transaxle, from a 944 Turbo S, the gross vehicle weight is increased by a mere 144-pounds. The 430hp capacity of the LS3, combined with the tight gear ratio of the Porsche gearbox and cornering prowess of the 944, yield a small car that is prepared to take on giants. Nobody on the street is expecting a Porsche 944 to pull out of the hole with such violence – then they hear the exhaust note and get a clue that this is no ordinary Porsche. By that time – the 944 is nothing but taillights, and the competition is a distant memory.
