The disconnect between what it looked like and what it sounded like was fantastic. Side note: my 1997 Buick Riviera had the same CD holder.

That’s Tyler Hoover’s (Doug Demuro’s CoWorker) car! Guess you were the one to break the news that it actually ran well

But yeah. Hoover and I have met. I almost bought an SBC XJ-S off of him 3 or 4 years ago.

His YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEczn3MVkx_4PnMZ10MVFA

I think he might also have a column somewhere but I’m not sure...

Somehow, I bet that LS is magically lighter than what it replaced.

The 911 is surprisingly reliable throughout the generations. Hoover blew his up by taking a known beat to hell car without the IMS fix to a racetrack. I would stick a lit piece of dynamite under a non-ims fix car before I took it to a track and flogged it.

I think it is like 50lbs lighter and like 75 hp more powerful.

I dreamed of an LS swap before committing to the 3.2 swap and goddamn it, his videos made me feel really good about my choice. I’m into my project for maybe $4,500(including shipping it originally) and I know he said he was way over budget on his LS swap and I think his budget was like $10k, and he had the help of a mechanic...

He told me how deep he is into it. Not gonna spoil it here but.. uh, yeah. Yikes. I do think he was paying his mechanic for labor and stuff though, so it’s not really a realistic price for someone with more knowhow doing it themselves in their garage.

There is a 77 924 sitting in my FIL’s garage. My brother in law wants to put a turbo 5 cylinder Audi engine in it, but I just want to shove an 5.3l LS In it sooooo bad.
