If the car is built properly, with correct suspension enhancements, it will be a dream to drive. The rear weight bias can be easily overcome with the proper set up.

I don't have traction control, nor do I have ABS. I do have a 3.6 engine from a 1995 993. Intermeccanica built this car to handle that weight and power, and I am sure Carey will do the same. Get fat enough tires on the rear, sway bars front and back , a well balanced chassis, and the issue of the back end coming around, pretty well disappears. It's all about making the car beefy enough to handle the weight and the power.

Obviously, good disc brakes are needed, as is rack and pinion steering. Maybe Carey can source 911 components for the build, as Henry did with mine.

Enjoy the build, Joel.
