Well, the day started off normal enough I guess. I walked into my garage, grabbed the license plate off of my seat, and put it on the car. I started her up, let her idle to warm up for a little. Then I went on my marry way to Woodbridge. Since this is the maiden voyage of the car, I decide I should get use to her. I let her hang a little here, a little there until I feel comfortable (took about 10 minutes), then it was go time. 404 southbound I decide to push her a little, get her up to 140ish mph no problem. That quenched my thirst for speed for the day until I happened upon a bright red Modena. This guy was driving like a hero, weaving in and out of traffic just after he merged. So I say to myself "Someone has to stop this madman and put him in his place." I get up on his *** in the right hand lane, a Camry calmly moves out of our path. Instantly the Modena drops a few gears and gives it. I drop to third (its a 4spd) and chase. I had to keep letting off in third so I wouldn't rear end this guy, finally the centre lane opens up. This is when I wind out third and hit fourth. As I am passing him, I give him the "peace" symbol, which is pretty much a bitch slap. I had pulled a few lengths on him, maybe 4 or 5 then he hit the brakes. I shut down at around 165mph (my speedo is in MPH). I slow down to give him a thumbs up for a good run, but he just decides to get off the highway and pretend it didn't happen.

Anyways, Ferrari 0 - Porsche 1. God damn that car is fun.

What mods did the car come with when you bought it?

Nice kill, and yea, what mods does it have?

Its gutted with RS Door panels, power windows (only power option it has), and the dash. Has a cage in it (6 point road race), straight pipe, long neck intercooler, 1 bar spring, avo shocks, etc. The way this thing pulls right now it feels like a solid mid to low 12 second car. I had such a blast in it today, that I don't feel like driving anything else. Easily one of the most entertaining cars I have ever owned (including the Talon).

Nice... approx How much power does it make at 14.7psi?

Well, I am bench racing, but I figure somewhere north of 300whp, and over 340wtq. Car weighs in at about 2600lbs. The new setup I am going with should put her over 420whp, and north of 450wtq. Hopefully the rest of my tools come in this week, then I can order the go fast stuff.

That's pretty good for a 930. Will you do any work to the engine(pistons/rods) or can the stock block handle it? I wanna see this car run once its done

mclaren55

A lot of the guys in the states are putting down between 600-800whp with these cars. The weak part of the car is the rods, which tend to let go around 550-650hp. I will do the rods, pistons, barrels (individual cylinders and heads on air cooled P cars), crank, stand alone, etc., when the time comes. Right now the weak part in the system is the mechanical fuel injection. Stops flowing enough fuel around 450whp apparently. I will have to wait and see I guess.

nice kill, did you go with the before mentioned plate???

Sounds like a car I would like to run on the highway. See you around.

mclaren55

I still have to get it, I can't wait! This Ferrari guy probably wouldn't have gotten it, he looked like the typical "Its a Ferrari, so its a rocket ship" kinda guy.

Blackout - Sure man, just let me know when. You should also come out to a trackday. That's what I am setting this car up for anyways, road racing. Drag racing was fun, but I have had my fill of it.

Suspension work is for next season when I pick up a donor body. This one is to rusty, so no track time for me this year.

Ha ha ha. That's a good one Adam!
