100% original spec would have been a waste unless being used for vintage racing only. Guns951 is a street/road warrior.. with an occasional track adventure thrown in for good measure!
Yo..

I fully agree, my point was just that not everything is original spec. It's always a balance act when enhancing something this old. Enhancing too much and the right feeling can be lost. So I can understand the idea to have the exhausts mis-aligned.

Are you aiming at taking this car up to 260 mph? On asphalt or a salt lake?

The goal is 260 mph or over on asphalt/concrete...now here's the part that's going to be hard:

doing it in under 1 mile from a standstill.

Now breathe and try to calm down...all that is, will be in October 2010. Let it be written, let it be told. Fünf Gruppen knows no bounds, socially, automotively nor physically - we don't stop.

That one has been for sale for quite sometime.

It appears to be a very cool car.. not enough of a description to determine how competitive it would be for club racing these days, or if it would be eligable for historic/vintage competion.

This is simply amazing. You went from a stock 951, to this, and now are going to raise the bar, yet again, and shoot for 260? Damn bro. I hope you sharpened your driving skills...

Driving skillz, yes - i've grown to develop the ***** and coolness required to pilot this thing. Going to a driver instruction event in Oct with her as well.

Trust me, as a few have noticed on the drives we did, I play it safe and don't go beyond my level of comfort - stock 930s blow by me

and that's fine by me.
