    Hmm in LS in a Miata?
    Sure.
    An LS in a RX7
    ...maybe.
    An LS in a 911?

    Believe it or not it’s not entirely hated... the LS is lighter and only raises the CG slightly.

    in CA where about a 1/4 of all 911’s live a 1975-1980 missing a motor it’s a better option due to smog laws.

    Ehh, I won't argue that.
    But still doesn't make it right hah.
    I'd probably not have too much of an issue stuffing one in a Cayman though...

    As a former rotary owner, I do agree.
    I'm just a hardcore P-Car purist lol.
    I can let it slide on the Mazda's as long as it is a nice build hah.
    But personally I would never do it.

    Thanks for posting this, brings back fond memories. Ralph has a truly stunning car collection, and I was lucky enough to work on his XK120 Roadster many moons ago.

    Well thank you and you must be incredibly skilled to be chosen to work on his collection. I still have a calendar circa 2006 with some of his car collection. I will see if the Jaguar is illustrated and attach it to this message!

    Yes, there were many highly skilled craftsmen (coachtrimmers) where I worked - not that I would include myself under that description ;). I think I worked on the carpets...

    Ralph has an interesting watch collection also, with little or no interest in Omega, Rolex, Patek, etc. - but many Cartier and Panerai https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a-look-inside-the-personal-watch-collection-of-ralph-lauren

    Oh man. Not a bad way to spend at least $300k on a 911.

    We walk by and she says “sit car, sit car!”
    Can’t say no to that!
