New Porsche V6..legal for engine swap??, For PCA regions that specify "Porsche" Options

Hmmmm?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It has been announced that the Cayenne will have a 3.2 liter V6 which is based on the Audi A3 and Golf R32 motor, but with more hp than the other two engines.

247hp instead of 217hp

Installing one of these into a 914 should be pretty easy due to the compactness of the motor (15° V6), so, what are the odds that one would be able to participate in PCA autocross and time trial with such a motor??? (some regions say the car must have a Porsche motor and engine)
Now I think they also say that if it is a motor swap it should still have the "spirit" or somewhat the same configuation as the original car--(no mid engine 911 conversions????)

Notice I say participate and not compete, since I'm guessing that if allowed, you't be put in a class with mega-dollar motors and cubic dollars. (M, K or Z ???)

I think it should be allowed since air-cooled motors all the way up to 3.8 liters are routinly run and those for sure never came from the factory that way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The way I look at it, the /4 are based on VW engines, so why not a Cayenne V6??? Same basic idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So, now all we need to do is wait for these motors to start showing up at the wreckers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

until the REAlly fast guys come around to pass you!

the problem with this train of thought is that it's dangerous to be too slow out there, look what happened to Chris Foley a few weeks ago when too slow of a car was on the track with him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

of course even if you had a converted car that can be as fast as a 917, can you drive it at that level out there on the track and not be a danger to yourself or others????

for an auto-x it's no big deal, you are not threat to anyone, heck, you might even win your class everytime since i don't think anyone has auto-x'd a 917 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
