Story by Nick Pon

It’s about time–with all due respect to owners and fans–for the Porsche 911 to get knocked down a peg. From the highly Instagrammed car-plus-luxury-wristwear images to the strange obsession with door handles to the astronomical auction prices, the whole 911 scen…

Damn, any more pics?  This is hilariously awesome.  I really hope a GRM version shows up at the challenge in the near future.

I was talking with my friend last night on what it takes to mount a VW motor to a later model 911 gearbox ,

I am going to look into what clutch disc / throw out bearing you would need to use....

I wonder if they could sell it on CL as a running 99 Porsche before anyone knew the difference.

This is up there with the radial powered MR2 for making the Lemons judges look the other way on budget because the idea is so insane.
