Is My Dirt Cheap V8 Swapped 911 Better than a Real Porsche GT3?!

PowerKraut is Back and ready to Battle it out with a REAL Porsche GT3! I bought this 1999 Porsche 911 as a roller for $6900 and spent 14k making it into a killer performance machine! We swapped in a 5.3 Aluminum LS V8 making near 400HP and it’s been running around the PA backroads for months! Before it can take on the best 996 that Porsche had to offer, it needs some upgrades. Watch Tony Angelo and Stay Tuned Crew install BC coil overs, some track day brake pads, and electric power steering and then hit the track to see what happens against a $100k Factory Porsche Beast!

machine shop during world war 2. Think they made gun barrels, hence the overhead gantry. Tony did a brief tour awhile ago. This shop must have been out in the sticks in the 1940's. The house next door seems to have the same architecture too. Tony, correct me if I am wrong.

It used to kill me people wouldn't spend the $10 to $20 and would cut the factory harness. We were always more than happy to charge them the extra hour of labor plus both harnesses to fix it in order for us to do the install and guarantee it. Lol

Also Tony, one thing that would make that car look awesome now that it's slammed is to use some bullet mufflers, tuck them underneath, and put some dual tip staggered tips (staggered as to match the round shape of the rear bumper), and mount them flush. It's not my car, but I'm just offering some tips. That's what I did with my 135i with a Magnaflow exhaust and it looks awesome.

[@ramblingadventures]

FYI, I had a 2000 C2 and drag raced it at Carlsbad Raceway which was an unprepped drag strip. I ran 13.6 and 0-60 in 5 seconds was pretty good for a C2. So you smashed that. The 2000 996 Turbo could do 0-60 in 4 flat and 12.4 in the quarter so you’re in that range.

[@bouverscustoms1652]

We all win. Because we get to watch it. Thanks Tony. Absolutely wanted a powercrout before you built it. Now I want one even more. Hell I saw a 944 v8 swap on marketplace in ithica new York last week.....

Kudos to Blake, too: a lot of guys who own premium automobiles would be reluctant to race them in this situation. It was very cool to see both vehicles perform in competition. Will PowerKraut get ABS brakes in the near future?

Amazing racing. Great episode. Lovely guest with an even more lovely car. Thank you all.

[@El_Chompo]

This is so cool for a couple reasons. 1 is that Hoovie had a porsche like this with a v8 and it was also HIS favorite car. Seems to be a great combo. The second reason is Jay Lenno on his garage channel has many videos where he talks about the old days of combining European body and suspension with American power since both were better at that part respectively. It's cool to see that 50 years later after those cars Lenno was talking about, the same rule still works. I would love to see it with a turbo or supercharger or maybe aluminum block.

Really fun. Nice job. I'd love to see what times he could pull in the Powerkraut, and you in the GT3. Autocross-style courses clearly aren't what the GT3 is optimized for. What a cool guy to be willing to wring it out for us. Thanks, Blake! I busted out the calculator, and am pretty excited to see that my road-race-style Datto project has a better power-to-weight than the Powerkraut. If it's anywhere near the performance, I will be stoked; it looked amazing out there.
