What's your opinion on this body kit...?? I'm not a body kit guy by any stretch, but I kinda like this one...

Reminds me of the old 924GT race car body kit.

I like it!

It sort of reminds me of the Trans-Am 944's, if a bit more contemporary.
A car that looks like that needs to have 500+HP to back it up, I think :burnout:

@NSXguy Of course....posted pic of kit assumes LS swap in my mind.

I hope it's got a V8 with the four exhaust tips.
Getting 500hp out of a 951 is very doable without a swap though.

I’ll challenge that premise... I am pretty well versed in building 951’s and if you think 500hp is “very doable”, even at the crank, then you and I have very different definitions of the word doable. Lol. Can it be done? Yes, but it won’t be very useable or last very long, IMO. I’d take a 951 with 350 ftlbs of torque over one with 500peak hp any day.

Yeah, never going to get 500 reliable hp out of a 951 engine without a LOT of money and knowledge. I think 350-400 is doable, but anything beyond that and the conversation should shift to a different power plant, one with more displacement. LS swaps seem to make the most sense for building a bad ass 944 variant.
