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.

Haha! Oh well. Honestly, apollo should fit in if you take the corvette covers off. Given that Porsche had some v8s in their lineup over the years!

[@beaushanks1592]

@carwizard great work on Hoovie’s 911 and thanks for building this one that he’s “yet” to blow up! 😂

@@damienf01 It's more the fact that it's an American corvette V8, corvette and porsche crews are rivals :)

[@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.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Ah, yeah I never even thought about how brutal seeing ruined Model A’s must be for you!

[@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.

[@joeobrien3541]

I took my freshly-built 3.6L 914 to a Porsche show unannounced and they tried to throw me out (yes, the 3.6 was out of a 993). I told them to call a tow truck before they let it go. I own a Porsche resto shop and I absolutely hate those guys.

[@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.

[@avioncamper]

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.

[@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!

[@deaks25]

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.

[@KasparrTV]

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.

[@dougbourgeois7991]

How many of those guys secretly wanted to know how it drove even though they wouldn't admit it.

[@skynetd-termination98]

That was hilarious! At least you didn't get a drink thrown in your face, or have someone vandalize the car.

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.

[@maraudingmerc9381]

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.

Screw all of these overpriced pieces of foreign crap that are constantly breaking down, ill take an LS any day of the week. Although you would think that such an engine swap would be a tremendous upgrade but oddly enough these cars arent any better or faster than the original Porsche, so it kinds makes you wonder why you'd do all of that work and spend that money. After a lifetime of wrenching and doing everything car, i came to find that Porsche people are just a special kind of dickhead that definitely aren't my type of people and I'm not taking about these young rebel type guys, I'm talking about the stuffy old Doctor who thinks he shits strawberries, the word pompous comes to mind......and the dickhead that made him move proved my point, thank you😮
