The idea of “heresy in the car” is quite funny. On the one hand, people are completely free to do what they want with their own project cars, but on the other hand, people often develop extremely strong feelings about certain brands or models and they often whine about what they perceive as someone damaging a car.
This all gets more intense if you decide to post your car build on YouTube, which is exactly what Mike Burroughs, Founder of StanceWorkshas embarked on his latest and most ambitious project to date: a Ferrari 308. I can hear you holding your torch and your thrower, but calm down.
I’ll wait until you stop screaming at the screen and banging your keyboard in an almost unbridled rage.
Mike’s plan was to make 1,000 hp timing-Attack vehicle will not only set track records but will also look stunning doing it. His most controversial decision with the project was to get rid of Ferrari’s aging and inefficient V8 engine (and by scrapping, I mean selling for five figures). Honda’s decision to replace it with the famous in-line four-cylinder K24 seems odd at first but quickly makes sense once you start looking at the numbers.
Supercharged K24 produces 1,000 horsepower or more is now a known quantity. The formula to get them to that yield level and to do so reliably has been established. It all starts to come together when you add in the cost and availability of parts and consumables, and the wider availability of people who know how to work on those engines.
The The next big criticism from the web is that Mike took what was already a pretty good example of a 308 to use for his project, not a clapping shell. Again, this makes sense. The rule of buying a project is always to buy the best project you can afford because it will make everything you do with it easier, simpler, and cheaper. Also, not all 308s are rare or well-loved. He doesn’t hack one 288 GTO or one Daytona.

People the last major criticism – and this is unique to Mike’s situation because of the way he chose to document his build – is that the build process takes too long. That’s stupid, and people say they’ve never tried a project of this scale before.
So, if you can get past these crashes, you should start following Mike’s build on StanceWorks YouTube channel because this build will not only entertain you, but you can also learn something throughout. progress.
