Its odd that with all the f-in street racing I do (I am not glorifying it, its just a sad fact of my life) that I ahve never posted a kill story. I suppose it has become second nature, the norm, and in tern no big deal. But it seems people like to hear these stories, so while I am sans a car, and have tiem to burn, I suppose I can burn though a few. There are enough at this point to fill a small book.

I will turn back the clock to late 2 years ago. The Colt only had a 60-1, and a best of 11.8@129mph.

We were at the local spot. The usuall crown of 150 or so cars milling around. In pulls the infamous "SHOCKM" 911-2400lbs 6XXwhp carbon fiber million dollar machine, but he brough with him a freind with a Red 968. He was not a regular So, the crowd gathers around both cars as the bonnets are poped. I was more interested in the new comer.

He was you typical old rich man, with his way overbuilt machine. He was bragging about his recent 580whp dyno, his T66, and oddities like his Euro market only 20 valve head built by Hans whoever at a cost of more than my year's tuition. What perked my interest was his stories of wating at the side of the highway, waiting for worthy adversaries to race. Stories of molesting Vipers, Modded vetts, 03 Cobras with ease. With his Dyno #'s, I believe it.

So, of course I ask for a run. He declines, and gives some ricer excuse. I didnt push the issue, as I was ona pump/race mix anyways and was actually worried about not being able to keep up. When he left, Mark (SHOCKM) told me to give chase, and he would surly give me a race. So, I left shortly after.

I caught up to him on the highway, and as soon as I saw him, I got behind and matched pace, waiting for an opening. He then slowly cruised to the right. We were doing 80ish mph, with was 4th gear territory for the short ratio trans in the car at the time. I could hear him easily find 3rd, and when I went for the gear, he hit it. He got a car by the time I came into boost, through 4th, I regain the car and then some. Slamed 5th, and walked away. I still to this day dont think he realized what happened.

This is one of the few times a camera was handy, so I have the video to boot.

You timed the shift just right, that video is priceless!

I like how you put it, lol. That is awesome, nice kill. I have always thought it would be cool to drop a 4g63 in the older porsches like that

Plabani's Porshe is awesome, as all of his other 4g63 hybrids.

Great post! The video was just icing on the cake. Definitely brings back memories of beating up on similar cars when I used to live in FL.

I saw it in person first hand at Chris Rado's Party at World last year. It's an incredible machine.
Chatted with Plabani a little and he still hasn't taken it to a Porsche meet.

Its 20G powered for those wondering.

Awesome kill. And Mr. Hyde... that is one sick porsche! Does the 4g63 make it any quicker? I bet it does!!!

Not to take away from the original story......

I'm my opinion, doing a 4G63 swap for a tuner, is a cost effective option. so If you have a 9 series chassis and DSM parts galore. You can put together a very sound and CAPABLE car.

Does the 4G63 swap make it quicker?
Compared to a 911 from that era, probably. Porsche didnt start making 400 cars til they started building the AWD911. So most cars before then would have a hard way to go. Nowadays their N/A GT3 puts out 400hp and has a top speed of 190+mph. Their GT2 is tuned down to 400hp and does 198 mph.
So by todays standards, it's prolly a wash. Eric built a car that is capable of hanging out and even beating a late model 911 for a fraction of the price.

That must have be lots of fun . Looks like a 944 turbo to me.

Yeah, it's a 944 with a 968 rear wing. Not that it matters, either car is fast with a 60-1 and a built engine.
