WTF?
Great comparo:
STi with 301whp
vs
944 Turbo with roughly 230whp and a
blown head gasket, not to mention 226k miles and on the original turbo! All stock except for 12 psi instead of 10.
If I had just 1 psi more, I would have won.
The temp gauge was maxed out on the 944, and the red light was on, so maybe it made 210whp in that race. It was still a VERY close race.
But no prob, I'm done with excuses.......Just another week or so (I hope) and my other 944 T will be ready. Ready for any STi from a 60 roll to 160 or more.
(I hope an STi is safe at 160

)
All it has is a slightly larger turbo (about the size of a small/medium 20g), and larger intake and exhaust. That's it.
2.5 vs 2.5
Not to be cocky, but if I lose to a STi from 60-160, it will only be because it has a larger turbo and at least 10psi MORE than I'll be running, which I'm told is impossible on a stock internal STi. My 944T has stock internals.
Please show me a STi that has trapped more than 120mph in the 1/4 on completely stock internals, and then I might have some competition from 60 up to 125 or so).
So Ming has the fastest STi locally?
