Man, all this hype () about the 951...makes me want one so badly. I finally experienced a 5-speed 944...pulled nicley in 2nd and 3rd gears. My first turbo driving experience was in a Lancer Evo...that damn thing pulled so hard when it finally hit boost. I can only imagine a car feeling as 'right' as the 944 with that type of pulling power!

Tifo- It looks like an attractive option, I was hoping to hear what blitz used to get a second opinion. I did a search and came up with thin roles, any idea on where to get a nice sheet of it rather than i thin role? I looked through 3Ms website and came up with 1" or 2"...Thanks.

I still dont know about the fighting chance, IMHO the new classes SUCK... my car vs. our 914 or a race ready 930 is NOT a fair class... take a look at the metro website and figure out your class... i think we are going to haveto pow wow about changing it back at the first event, i'll be working registration so maybe i can just class myself with the stock 924s?

Sam, this place has 6" wide rolls. 6" should be more than enough ( , no comments please ).

tifo- should I get the gold?

edit:
Actually I asked around on another forum I frequent and got sent to this place:

http://pegasusautoracing.com/pdfs/088.pdf

This looks like the ticket: "Adhesive backed aluminized heat barrier cloth" Good up to > 2000 F comes in a 12x12 sheet...

sorry on the hijack fty...
