Looks like I have beaten Porsche to the punch!
Check out my all alluminum Supercharged :P LS1 V8 porsche 911.
My engine is 75 pounds lighter than the stock Porsche 3.0L motor.

that radiator has to be the most hideous thing i have ever seen done to a porsche since the first spy shots of cayanne.

I hope when porshce does it, it is a little more "subtle"

it is like nothing else, that is for sure. I cannot imagine how a porsche 911 with a small block v8 must drive. Certainly unique.

The radiator gets points for being ingenuitive, but not for style.

would a V8 be more do-able in a newer water cooled 911 996 car?

Well, I don't think that this will ruin the "spirit" of Porsche, after all, this will still be one of the world's premiere sports cars. The only thing that I wonder about is how a rear engined 911 with a big V-8 can maintain its legendary handling capabilities. Then again, the Porsche engineering staff is among the finest in the world.
