Taking Hoovie's LS Swapped Porsche 911 To An All Porsche Show Was A Hilarious Disaster

I went to Porsches On The Plains... But I brought a 911 That was less than favorable.
Porsche purists are nuts, we all know that. So taking ‪@HooviesGarage‬ famous LS swapped 996 Porsche 911 to an all Porsche show was bound to be a blast. Lucky, it was!

[@CarWizard]

Love the disapproving looks from the purists. There is soooo much more to life than knocking someone for improper lug nuts or incorrect headlamp bulbs. Fun fact, Apollo 911 could walk 90% of those other Porsche’s there. Gapping some by 5-10 car lengths or more. Fight me.

[@Telecasterland]

Given how often Carwizard goes nuts about keeping cars OEM. These comments are funny. I have never kept a vehicle stock. Apollo 911 shows that with clarity. Note most 914's are not stock given the part unavailability in relation to the 1968 Bosche Electronic fuel injection.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

and also practical, logical and needed, as the 996 era was notorous for bearing failure between 1996 and 2001, with not even the boxster being spared which hurts as I like the boxster and thought it was a damn good looking car back then, also its doubly insulting with the Ford as ford made the very first V8's, and now your putting in a derrivative, like atleast put a 289 in it.

Some of the expressions was priceless. Nice to see a colab with 100Perecent Jake. Had no idea Kansas has so many Porsches. In NC, one of our dealers is about 30 miles away in the next city over.

[@MorningNapalm]

Funny to see the purists finally embrace the 996 :D I am not an LS-swap kinda guy, but I am definitely a do-what-you-like guy, so this is funny to me. There were nearly 180.000 996s, so there should be enough out there that not all of them need to be factory stock. My 996 is factory, more or less, but there are some personal touches too. IMO the 996 is the sweet spot of the entire 911 line. Modern enough to be truly competent, old school enough not to hold your hand via electronics while driving. Especially the early 996s with cable throttle are so pure and sweet.

[@CarswithNash]

Nice. I have always loved this car and then there was some real eye candy at that show as well.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Without a doubt. There were some amazing cars at the show!

[@andrewhillman9632]

I'm not the biggest fan of the "LS-Swap everything because V8 motor" thing but honestly, with Apollo 911, it's the engineering that's gone into to make it as legit as possible. Spray the engine lid in body colour, take off the Apollo side trim and it looks like any old 996. Tyler and Wizard tried to make a genuine "Car Porsche never made" creation and that is cool in its own right.

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

Agreed I'm also so done with LS swap everything. It's turning into a meme of playing Doom on a calculator.

You don’t LS swap everything because V8 lmao. You LS swap things because it’s CHEAP power, parts abundance, a lot of shit you can just go to a parts store and get, not to mention engine availability is ABSURDLY high.

[@stephen3164]

I think the Cayenne and maybe the Panamera also had V8 options? But a Porsche V8 doesn’t sound like an LS.

[@Flies2FLL]

@@stephen3164 UHMMM I highly beg to differ! When I had my '85 928S2 with a Borla dual exhaust, all the time I had people asking if I had done a Chevy transplant... A crossplane V8 can only sound one way. So YES, the M28 V8 in a 928 sounds EXACTLY like an LS!

[@stephen3164]

@@Flies2FLL - hmm, well… I guess a 928 could be made to sound like an LS? I’ve owned a few cars with the Chevy 350, and some 5.3l cars, and a bunch of BOP 350’s that didn’t have quite the same sound as their Chevy counterpart, and definitely sounded different than a modern LS. Have driven my fair share of C5’s and C6’s. I guess that LS sound is programmed in my head. I’m also a Mustang guy, currently have an ‘06 with the 4.6l but have driven dozens of V8 Stangs over the years. They sound different to the LS to my ears. And the Dodge Hemi’s have a different sound as well. Little more growly whereas the LS sounds smooth - even if you rumble it through Flowmaster 40’s, it still has this smooth undertone. Probably the cam design. The 928’s I heard sounded more high pitched. At WOT they had a more unique tone. But again, maybe with the right mufflers, it could mimic an LS. The ones I’ve seen didn’t. (My BMW 540i with the full Dinan pkg had a unique tone - smooth and deep. Pulsating but no rumble at idle. Miss that car, but not the endless repair bills every time I went to drive it!)

[@Flies2FLL]

@@stephen3164 Dude, OK? Did you read what I posted? An even firing/crossplane V8 can only sound ONE WAY. Now, if you take an LS and put a 928's stock exhaust on it, what do you think it will sound like? And the converse: Put a C6 LS7 exhaust on a 928 engine; What do you think it will sound like? It is the EXHAUST that determines what the engine sounds like, not the engine itself! The 4.6 Ford uses a very good intake that adds some what I call "roarty" sound to the engine, and Ford mounts a stock exhaust that I don't care for frankly, an LS car sounds better. Many 928 owners like me mount Borla exhausts with X pipes added and '85 and later stock 32 valve exhaust headers; The headers and X pipe are good for almost 30 hp on a chassis dyno versus the silent Porsche exhaust, which probably weighs over 100 pounds! WHAT? An X pipe added like this probably accounts for the higher pitched sound that 928's have. But they shriek like NASCAR race cars with this setup above 6000 rpm!

It's awesome getting to see folks reactions to the Apollo 911! Wild to me how few Porsche drivers do modifications to their vehicles. Seems like a platform that would actually be fun to mod, and yet they're generally treated like they're beyond reproach (unless someone decides to put an LS in one).

[@TwoDollarGararge]

everything on a Porsche is expensive when injectors are $1,000 it's hard to mentally justify modification

[@rahulmandala4930]

Well if we’re talking tuning and Porsches, I’ve seen people make stupid power out of the 991 (.1, but notably the .2) Turbo S’ engine. Those 3.8’s are ridiculously capable. Heck, Adam LZ’s 992 Turbo S pushes somewhere near 1,000 HP and quite a good amount of others have their cars doing the same, if not, more than that. It’s just that it will be a little on the costly side, but tuning Porsches are possible. Not many do modifications because people just like to keep their cars the way they do. While I may not be that big a fan of LS swaps in general (more so on a Porsche), people choose what they want to do with their car. Hoovie wanted to LS swap his, others want to keep them simple as is. That’s the beauty of creative differences as we can have differing opinions about them, but we’re glad they still exist.

[@maraudingmerc9381]

@@TwoDollarGararge I mean ... that's part of the problem. It's a catch 22. More people modding means more third party support for the platform and more support means more people modding.

And if my engine died the closest one is $2,000 and is located in Oklahoma halfway across the country I understand racing guys like these 2.7 motors but I'm just trying to get it running and that's expensive enough

[@PlugInRides]

Back in the 1970's, Porsche Club of America (PCA) events specified the cars needed to have bodies and engines made by Porsche, so you could place a Porsche flat-6 in a 914, or put a 928's V8 in a 911, but they didn't want a Chevy powered 928, or a VW powered 356.
