That's just stupid.

Old 911's were already tail happy, now with that much weight sitting back there and the power from it - it'll be damn near impossible to drive fast.

Drifting machine though...

And, isn't that an LS6?

You are wrong on both accounts.

I dug around the site a bit and figured it out.

It's an LS1 with red painted engine covers.

Plus, the LS2 is a 6.0L and you can clearly see that's a 5.7L which would put it in the LS1 or LS6 range.

However, since I found pics with the Black covers it's been determined to be an LS1.

Plus, check this picture out:

He flipped the intake manifold on the engine, and ran the accessories (alternator, water pump, intake, etc) all the way to the the front of the car.

Pretty insane...

This guy also has a 914 with an LS1 crammed in it.

LS1 is actually a fairly light engine.

Actually, it probably weights less than an OHC aluminum block/head V8 but what do I know...

Yeah, it most definitely weighs less than that.

In fact, you are correct, it is a fairly light engine.

It's not as light as the stock engine that 911 though.

Either way, I retract my previous statement; the utter amount of customization and modifications to that vehicle make it cool.
