Remember when we had an more than decent automotive manufacturing industry?
We could be making EVs now.

i did it a new 2014 rental corolla which (thank you hertz!) was a manual - was much fun! Corolla was much better than you’d expect...

'05(ish) manual Corolla hatch was pretty good fun on Tassie backroads too, aside from slight heart-in-mouth moment getting airborne over a crest at about 170km/h.
My old man picked up a 996 turbo a couple of months ago. He’s always got at least a couple of classics sports cars he’s working. Various porsches over the last few years.
But holy shit, that 996 turbo is seriously disturbing to drive (on public roads anyway). The NA ones are well fast enough and nice progressive acceleration. The turbo is batshit crazy, well past my comfort limits nowadays.
Lovely chassis and handling though.
Still, it’s always nice to get back into my hilux boat so I can just relax in slow wallowy comfort.
If you think a 996 turbo chassis is overpowered for the road try any GT2!

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
I will if your offering.

996 is apparently good with an LS conversion.

Fucking what?
That's just like someone chucking dirt tires on a road bike and calling it a new genre

Lol, you may be right. But it’s a thing, lots have been done. It’s lighter than the porker engine and makes a shit tonne more torque.
it’s done to Boxsters as well.

I'm in. An honourable mention goes to the RX8 with an LS1.
Plenty of ls conversions for 911s and 928s. In both cases the car goes harder than original. Purists need not watch.

That would have to be the most bogan thing I have ever heard of. Take European development, shove it full of American Dino-tech.
Results would be fun tho

The LS engines are a very decent bit of kit. Power to size/weight ratio is excellent, those 2 valve pushrod heads make for a very compact engine - so it’s easy to fit in places you wouldn’t think 5.7-6.2 litres of V8 would go... Plus they’re cheap as chips to buy, and even decent for a brand new crate engine from GM.
