You think an rx8 or 944 will handle better than a c5?

all those cars were cool in their time but they are in the electronic age and will quickly become a big PITA, they are dated like a computer from 1995.

put it in something full analog like a nice car from the 60s (not a rust bucket project car from the 60s).

lot of requirements and work just to use an LS1. Good motors but getting long in the tooth

The porsche conversion sounds good but one way or the other its going to cost $, fab skills and electronic issues
