Regarding driving experience, the 911 997 gives the performance expected from the engine minus the same noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) found in other Honda K-swapped builds. Essentially, a Porsche chassis combined with a renowned Honda engine is like having the best of both worlds, according to Nick.
Outside the engine bay, the car appears to be kept mostly in stock. It does come with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires developed for high-performance sports cars.
We understand why some would find it distasteful, considering the M96 is a pretty good engine despite its fair share of problems. Do the reliability and cost-effective advantages of the Honda K engine justify the replacement of the Porsche flat-six? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
