The 917 did not have a "V" motor. It had a horizontally opposed 12, or "flat 12". And for power for a 917 kit, I would go with an air cooled 6 with a turbo.
actually it did its a 180 V12 engine the difference between a boxer 12 and a 180 degree v12 is the configuration on the crankshaft so TECHNICALLY its a V12 even though its well V shaped
I heard to even replicate that engine costs more than a brand new Lamborghini A modern porsche twin turbo engine will be lighter and produce similar power while still being a Porsche engine
Wrong. "Flat" and "180° V" are interchangeable... meaning, either is correct. "Flat" can be used to describe any engine with horizontal cylinders, including those with just a single bank of cylinders. Any "flat" engine with two cylinders banks in same crankcase is also a "180° V", provided they share the same central crankshaft.
Starting with the K1 Attack was an epic choice. I'm glad it's finally seeing some success in its 4th attempt... but the debut concept looked a bit better.
8:20 DriveDriverDriven in the house! Quick update though, there's an even faster version of the Ultima available now, the Ultima RS! I rebuilt that Evo into an RS after "some engine trouble" but glad to see the old content getting new life.
In the late 80's I foolishly bought a used Fiberfab Avenger. It was a horrible build to start and truly "only just average" build after I took it apart and rebuilt it. It was an excellent learning experience for me, but it does show that you only get what you put in. Cheap parts and beginner fabricating begat a cheap car that I sold for a 50% loss. However, I will soon approach my next component car with excellent fabricating skill and much deeper pockets. Great video Brad!
Really like the Race Car Replica GT40 and GT-R. A bit on the pricey side at around 50k to 60k less transaxle and engine. Would love to build it with a 351 windsor punched out and stroked to 400ci or better. Then do coil near plug and EFI with individual throttle bodies. I won't see this build done for a good long while. A man can always dream of hanging with Ferraris and Lamborghinis in a cobbled together monstrosity based off a 60s design known for being less than stable at high speed.
Bought a running 04 Crown Victoria P71. Stripped it down to the frame, relocated the engine back 14 inches and dropped the center on the frame 3 inches. Mounted some Pontiac Bucket seats, and now need to figure out the firewall before building the cage and body.
If you're going to buy something from RCR, they were producing a Lola T70 MkIIIb for a while, at a relatively affordable price. And it had options to buy everything necessary to assemble the car, except for an engine. The great thing is that the real Lola T70 was most commonly powered by a Chevrolet small block V8, although there were a few built with a big block, and even fewer built with other engines, even the Aston Martin V8. The RCR Lola T70 was built to original blueprints. You could technically build a heritage racing legal car from the RCR kit.
I 'carted' a 79 Fiat X-19. I stripped all the metal off of it, the bumpers, the top, the pop up head lights - primed all the take offs, sold them.... mounted a Sawz-all Manx fiberglass dune buggy on it. I fitted Bigs & Littles and terrorized the dunes with it. so much damn fun. Sold it for 10K .... I regret doing that.
I would buy and builds a kit Maxx Budget $30K to build myself. Though have the room, I do have the tool just need the engine lift and car hoist. work too many hours, and would prefer a Brand new Mach 1 with a Warranty and option for extended warranty. Requirements on Purchase are as follows: 1. 6 speed manual transmission 2. naturally aspirated, or super charged.... Manufacture's mount Turbos too close to the engine without a heat shield between them., causing each other to fail 3. Next purchase will be all white car with Performance Pack or the next Mustang Gen 2023 if Performance Pack 2 is not available the BOSS 302 will be my next purchase.... with 6 speed manual transmission. Thanks for showing more kit options though. 👦🏻👍🏻🏎🏁
I own a westfield super7. I build in a ford zetec black top (standard 134hp) I put on a set of throttlebodies from a Honda fireblade and now it delivers 186 hp on the dyno. Car weights 600 kilograms. 😋👍
I mean yeah if you wanna look unique 100k is fine... But for that price you can still get a used McLaren or Ferrari ...soooo i dunno ...now the stratos replica is nice as hell i would love one of those
as long as it is road legal and doesn’t break any emission laws you’re good lol. obviously if it’s too loud or breaking any law that any other car breaks you’ll be ok👍👍👍👍
When you gushed for an Audi I paused your content. Used to be you couldn't have a BMW because all the a-holes bought them. But those a-holes have all migrated over to Audi so it's cool to have your BMW now. But in the last decade, every single a-hole I've met has owned an Audi. No exceptions.
I would love to make my own supercar, especially that Porsche but I would use an ELECTRIC MOTOR, I love the silence and power that an electric motor has, and knowing that the price of the motor IS HALF THE PRICE OF THE CAR I could save a lot more if buy an electric motor, for 500 dollars you have hundreds of horsepower in an electric motor which an internal combustion engine would cost thousands of dollars Anyway, when I can, I'll make that Porsche with an electric motor, and yes, I'll fuck lottt of girls with that car hahaha

Yup.
Still, that kind of engine is impossible to get one.

ive had my factory five mk1 cobra for 18 years now and love every minute of it 1900lbs 350 hp
In the 917…. A Flat-12 engine, two flat-sixes linked up…
Y’know, this could be a great father/ son project. Anybody ready?
I was thinking the same thing my son is 3 so I have time to save
Im ready for adoptions!
I once saw a Super Seven type kit car in Pennsylvania that was setup with a RX7 13b, road racing tires in a Corvette Yellow... Very Nice.

Less gooo! "Honourable Mention" is back Baby!!!!
Could someone design a Corvette Cerv 3 kit? Thanks :3
So where was the SL-C or the GT40?
Sad about the prices of cars here in South Africa. 1994 C4 Corvette with about 68000 miles on the clock... $67000...

0:54 Shoutout Exotics @ RTC!
Super cool seeing footage of our local car show at the beginning!
The 917 is definitely neat. As I am watching this, wonder if you will include the Corvette GS.
I'm deciding between Resto-mod Project & a Kit Car Project.
Both are cool, restomod is easier. Kit cars take years 👍
I am building my dream V12 supercar 😎

Thanks for sharing, too many idk’s, huh
@@pastperformance2285 Well past experiences either Turbos or engines fail , and don't have time work on my personal cars
I like thr idea of the posche 917 but what about a 356 porsche I helped a friend with a Ford gt40 that was fun
Does anyone know if the k1 kit would work on a corvette? 🤔 I did my research and I’m getting no progress on if it fits it or if it’s even worth it.
I would *love* to build up a Porsche 917! Such a cool and legendary car
el porche 917 fue el mejor auto de carreras de la historia .
Bell str hotwheels on roads
I would love to see you use that 917 replica kit
you say 1 major difference that means that the cars motor is the same? handling specs all of it?
So weird to be watching a random video and see yourself. 😳
Glad you showed my best side 🤦♂️
So. At 04:46 you say the Bauer Catfish is $14,000. You said it’s cheap at a Dollar per Pound. So you are saying this car weights 14,000 LBS ?
Can you do a video on kit humvees?
What about the legendary 250 GTO?
I own a westfield super7. I build in a ford zetec black top (standard 134hp) I put on a set of throttlebodies from a Honda fireblade and now it delivers 186 hp on the dyno. Car weights 600 kilograms. 😋👍
Excellentttttt - even though there’s not even ONE VW Beetle kit in the whole bunch!
“14,000…that’s about a dollar per pound"… who’s gonna tell’em
Math isn’t his strong suit. Entertainment is!
@@pastperformance2285 fair enough
Yep !! I was one of the first employees at Road Atlanta and I remember the Porsche 917 kicking butt on the Road Atlanta Race Grid.
I still don't understand why channels ask you to subscribe before the viewer has experienced the quality of the production/ content.
Me how many cheap car videos do you want ideal yesssssss
3:22 You don't have a 1200 hp Porsche V12? The original 917 didn't either. A FLAT 12....😅😅😅
Yep put em on the r8 love the vids take care
Porsche doesn’t have any V12s kicking around either, Danger.
Anyone else remember ideal cars being called ideal media and hoped they used the 2jz gte engine in the ronart
what about using a Subaru 3.6R engine
I would probably go with the RCR 962 above the 917
Sad I am handicap u could only buy a already built one
Should do that sell in the turn key market
Love the content keep on your rampage
Can’t believe you didn’t mention the gt40 or cobra buddy.
Get the butterfly doors on the r8
I would... I'm not the most mechanical, but would be cool to accomplish!
I mean yeah if you wanna look unique 100k is fine...
But for that price you can still get a used McLaren or Ferrari ...soooo i dunno ...now the stratos replica is nice as hell i would love one of those
Bro fr lured me in with that 917

None of these are inexpensive when finished, just buy a c8 with warrantee.

A dollar per pound? So that car is 14,000 pounds?
