I went to the Winter Park, Florida Concours De Elegance today and saw one of the coolest Porsche cars I have ever seen. It was a 356 "Special" built by Emory Motorsports. It has a 4 cylinder, 911 based motor. Dean Polopolus. Owner of APE, Inc. has engineered a powerful high performance piece of machinery by developing the Polo 4 cylinder 911. The Crank case has been casted and machined and is now in various cars all over the world. Glad I went to this event today....Have you guys ever seen or heard of this motor?

I'll be "That Guy."
Aside from the fact that it looks like a baby 6, whats the point? Just to say that you have something more or less unique? I just don't get spending 2X as much as building a six to make it into a four. Where is the benefit? Zach |
