I try to make it out to the Scottsdale Pavilions car show at least every other week or so.  It’s a a weekly car show where people come and go throughout the afternoon/night and just about any kind of car, bike, motorcycle, etc. is welcome and common.  Every now and then, something (or some things) come along that just make me go “wow.”  The group of Porsches that came out this past weekend is a good example of one of these ocassions.  Built and brought out by Patrick Motorsports, the blue/purple car is a seven year project that was seeing the street for the very first time.  The green 914 is running a 355 V8 with a monstrous supercharger sitting on top and makes one hell of a noise.  More photos of these cars and some others in high-resolution at Desert-Motors.

How’s this for a swap? Dana Stokes’s 1973 Porsche 914 runs a 227 hp EJ20 motor from a 2004 WRX. Much lighter than the Subie, and rear-wheel drive, the Porsche takes off like crazy with its new mill: this baby does 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Plus it’s got this trick retractable wing that rises out of the trunklid when the car’s going faster than 45 mph, not unlike Chrysler’s Crossfire. Dana’s 914 has been featured in Subiesport, and you can see more video of it in action on Renegade Hybrids’ MySpace TV channel.
