Everytime I think of a 951 turbo on a race track, this pic comes to mind:



So, are you working the wife over? Things looking good for this weekend?
I hope to get an answer on Sunday. Pray at church for me.

As for that pic, notice the flat level turn, the graceful yet purposeful lines, the pure German beauty,.... I'd love to get her on a dyno and get an accurate number on the horse and torque since the last round of mods. 300/340 is being conservative. I'm very sure it's more.

That's true. From the mods that guy has done, the car should be making 20-30 more hp easy!

I'll say many prayers for you Dan! Go work your magic on the Mrs!!!

The flat level cornering stance of the 951 is definitely amazing! Several Porsches from that era were also endowed with great suspensions. Take the 928 for instance - it weighs at least 300+lbs more than a 951, yet corners dead flat and true. These were pics a guy in my club took of a 928 (w/ stock suspension) going around a tight section of the course that day:





For comparison, here's my SVX going around the same corner (stock suspension, but I had poly swaybar bushings)

You want all out sport? PORSCHE

You want unbridled luxuary? MERCEDES-BENZ

You want sport in a practical sedan or coupe? BMW

Want all out all weather performance? AUDI

Hecker & Koch makes some of the finest weapons in the world and SIG/Sauer is one of the highest regarded handgun producers in the world.

And as for women I give you Claudia Schiffer and Hedi Klum!!!

CASE CLOSED!!!!!

I have increased my 951 coming home from 60-65% to approximately 80-85%. One final hurdle, well maybe two, and I should be OK.

They're not to many street cars in the world that could outrun that 911!
