Default What was your top speed?

my top speed was 152 MPH in a track.
i have a 944 N/A with couples of mods.
like turbo bumper,aero mirrors and door handles, air intake kit made by me.
custom interior black by me too red and a new paint job red done by my uncles body shop Ramons Body Shop in seattle.

is 194 HP normal for a N/A car like mine?

Let's hear the real list of mods, 194 at the crank is well beyond stock,
an S is 188 and an S2 is 208, both at the crank.
~120-125 @ Pocono on the stock motor, a couple months later we found bad leakdown on the #1 cyl. I don't know if this was before or after that cyl went bad, instructor thought the car felt a little "off" from his, but we figured the fact that his was gutted might have made my heavier car feel slower.

Sorry man... Sam sniff'd you out. Unless your mods are more than a custom intake made by yourself and a new red paint job, I'm gonna have to say bull-sh(cough)t.

As the man said, unless your packin' a supercharger you either are fibbin' or have Porsche's best kept secret under your hood!!!

Rennlist brothers what do we say???


... wait, do I smell something?
