    My car walks 996 Carrera S's, 135i's, Z4Mcoupes with exhaust, Mustang GT's, M20's on 6-7psi, barely on a GTO (not sure what year but probably not the 6.0 :)). All races were fair, meaning I didn't have any speed advantage. The 135i, Z4M and boosted E30 were driven by capable friends, so driver error can be dismissed.

    This is with all the N/A bolt-ons minus cams and pulleys and a 2.93 diff and ZF tranny (with which anything shorter than a 3.25 diff will kill your acceleration)


    So I would say, yes, this is a quick car. And the best part is that you're just a snail away from an easy 500hp. 8)


    And remember, 0-60 and 1/4 times are only as good as your launching capability. How often are you running against someone from a stop, let alone against someone capable of getting their car to move 60' under 2.2 sec's.

      Is anybody here running a supercharged s52? There are alot of used centrifugal units on the market from e36 m3s. It seems like it wouldnt be that hard to get one going and get in the high 200s for whp.
