    There are several cars (eg. 2.7's/Shelby's/TVR/Morgans) putting more hp than that through less tyre.

    Well let's just bench race this 928 without starting another topic.

    Given that they have a 4.7 and 5.0 version (that's not eligible) that's you can pull parts from, cams, valves, fuel distributors etc... In theory you should get decent number out of the stock 4.5 ???

    why don't you guys get serious and put a 2 litre flat 6 in this

    there is historical precedence (sort of) although I think the car is great as is

    I spotted the Elva BMW a little while ago when the previous owner was looking to get rid of it for about $85k. You can trust CTS to boost values!

    I'm aware of the Elva Porsches, Poopers and a couple of other Porsche engines specials. None of which even remotely fall within my meagre price range

    If you want a competitive group S car for relatively little dough, and you want to be different, then I think there is really only one option:
