    "245x45x17 and 315x30x17"
    HA. Understeer much? That's about the right ratio of front to rear tire for a rear-engined car... aka real Porsches.

              The 2.5L 4 cylinder can handle quite a bit of abuse/boost .... any engine you choose, you've got the flares to fit in massive rubber, a transaxle in the back which keeps a good F/R balance, and a much lower CG than an E30.

              A built 951 can be an insanely quick car. Me personally, if I'm spending Porsche aftermarket part prices, I'd prefer the engine behind me.....

              Regardless, looks like a good price if the chassis is straight.

                        Indeed the balance is very good. Here we've got a 951 racer, also widebody, and the handling is awesome. Gt3's are having a hard time keeping it behind, untill you come onto the strait and they have more power. Here's some pictures :

                          The head lights pop up. Duh.
                          The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.
