Must be an insane gokart to drive, hard to beat the old 914 for low weight.

I had a 914 2.0. Nice car but handling was a little scary at the limit. Nice conversion.

The owner is active on the 914 forum. It's a 500HP (at the crank) LS6. Very nice car!!

That 930 transaxle is rated to 700HP. The ring gear is bigger than a Ford 9".

The 930 trans factory gear ratio is way to high for the ls1. I had a Porsche shop quote me $5,000 for a rebuilt 930 trans with freeway freindly gears suited for the ls1.
