What can you tell me about this car?
Was the conversion done the right way?
Is it more than just an auto-x monster?

Yup, that's Tobias' car. It's an original Six, and had a warmed-over carb'ed 3.3L motor in it when he bought it. Nobody could get the carbs working correctly, and the motor burned itself up in short order. So he threw a whole lotta $$ at it and had a stock Vario-Ram equipped 993 3.6L motor installed. ("A whole lot" means more than he's asking for the whole car now.) I think Bauer in Oakland did the installation.

That thing is wicked fast! He let me take a fun-run in it once, when he only had 215s under it. Not nearly enough tire... I'm the only one I know of to ever start an autoX run backwards!!
