When half of your garage houses a trophy truck with an unlimited budget, you can't park a geo Metro next to it. high-dollar fun is becoming more and more popular throughout the deserts of the southwest. if you have the money and can afford to play, then something like this Porter Prc4 unlimited class 1 Buggy may end up in your garage someday. a few months back, Kincaid racing took us for a cruise in its newly built trophy truck during a test session preparing for the Baja 1000. When scott Kincaid rang our phone a second time and informed us of the completion of his prerunner, toy, chase, and play vehicle being ready for action, we couldn't pass up a chance to strap in.

Once again, scott turned to the masters of Porter race cars to complete this four-wheel dirt destructor they call the Prc4. if you follow racing in the southwest, you have more than likely heard someone say, while watching a car fly by and gracefully float over massive whoop sections, "oh, that must be a Porter car."
Rear shocks are King 4-inch King Kong coilovers and King 3-inch King Kong triple-bypass shocks. That means scott has 14 inches of shock width and technology keeping the landings as smooth as butter. the smooth body lines throughout the vehicle were accomplished using trailer Products custom-fiberglass panels. | 
Beard seats and Pci race radios communications have been a tested solid combination for all of Kincaid racing's vehicles. | 
Porter has been in the business of building topnotch race vehicles for many years, and it shows. following the lines of the suspension and how it ties into the chassis shows how fluid the travel is. everything is built with abuse in mind with no unneeded componentsor tube. |
A Car like this can be a number of tools in the desert. out of the box it's an amazing off-road toy, or it can double as a great prerunner to any race team. With a few slight modifications, it can be equipped as a chase vehicle quickly carrying gear to a brokendown race vehicle or even become a race vehicle itself in the popular class 1 category. here is our look into a vehicle we all wish to bring home one day.
Both the front and rear suspension of this car pulls a plentiful 22 inches of wheel travel. the chassis front-to-back is constructed using 1-3/4x0.120-wall 4130 chrome-moly tube. the suspension components are also using 4130 chrome-moly tube and plate for superior strength.although the desert is unforgiving, ifyou break the chassis of this car, you are probably doing something stupid.dampening all of that travel up front is a set of King 3-inch coilovers and King 3-inch triple-bypass shocks.Maxxis 37x17r12.50 trepador radial tires were chosen wrapped around17x8 Btr wheels. | 
A howe steering box was called to duty keeping both front wheels in line. scott had the front bumper powdercoated chrome to mimic the look also found on his trophy truck. a set of Baja designs 4-inch hid fuego lights are located up front providing plenty of night vision. track width up front measures 89 inches,which is matched in the rear. | 
The rear suspension really makes this car look like it could fly. actually, considering we shot images of it soaring, apparently it can. scott had the engine enclosure custom-built around his engine after it was installed. a nice center-mounted exhaust exit was also custom-designed. in order to stop this car, scott had Kartek send him a full set of its Proam six-piston disc brakes which were installed at all four corners. |
Under the hood, or should we say in the back, is a custom-built Kincaid racing 676-horsepower chevrolet engine. it measures 408ci with a massive 618 lb-ft of torque. internal components include an aluminum block, dark heads, crower crank, Bullet cam, and Je pistons. also included is a holley 750 carburetor, Mallory fuel pump, PWr radiator, and a Barnes oil system. Porter handbuilt the entire exhaust system. the ignition system is an Msd 6al ignition using Msd spark plug wires and an Msd distributor. dual odyssey batteries are located under the dash. Porter handbuilt the fuel cell to hold 48 gallons. the approximate weight of the entire vehicle with fuel is 4,000 lbs. | 
The racer's cockpit, a place we all like to call our home away from home. Porter keeps the design of its Prc4 car simple yet effective containing just what's needed. centermost is a lowrance Baja gPs system providing off-road guidance. lookingthrough the MoMo steering wheel is a racepak digital instrument gauge cluster. racepak instrument panels are a great choice for those who either don't have room for an assortment of various gauges or want an all-in-one choice. under the codriver control is a Kenwood race radio and Pci race radios intercom communication system that ties into headsets for all passengers. the transmission installed is an albins "h" pattern with a tcs converter. all transmission work was performed by transaxle technology out of fullerton, california. | 
The King Jack mounts on any rollbar, using quick-release pins for easy removal and installation. the only necessary modification is the pin receiver. a pin receiver must be welded to a suspension piece (usually the lower a-arm) on each corner for a positive lifting point. once the jack pin has been securely placed into a pin, the jack is ready for lifting. once fully extended, wheels can be removed and installed in minutes. We had scott show us how it works and how simple you can get your wheel off the ground. it took him about two minutes to get it in place, and the tire was off the ground in about 15 seconds. |
