Default NA PUT IN ITS PLACE

I been wondering how fast a turbo was and since i got my N/A ive been talking alot of "smack".....but 2 day thanks to STEPHEN MAGOWN and his 86' 951 i now know that any stock 951 will kick the best N/A's A$$...i was on the gas hard merging on the highway and he blew by me like i was sitting still.....and at the next light he said"were you even trying so he gave me a 5sec head start and by the time i hit 50 he was passing me.....

What exactly is "it's place"?

Think carefully before you respond. Ever been to an autocross? You should go sometime.

Ok, I hope you find them where ever they are along the highway. I hear that good 944 doors are in high demand.

NA in is place? Smack talk from an NA!

You know NA's are not that powerfull. In straight line it is obvious a stock turbo will blow the NA's door's off.

Autocross is a completely different matter. In fact the biggest factor in speed at the autocross is not the car, but the driver. Even so my 83 944 NA stock autocross car is faster than my Turbo S at most autocrosses. Even with me driving both cars. Reason is turbo lag and gearing. 95% of autocrosses for the turbo find the car either with too fast for first gear or too slow for second. Never any time to build boost.

Julian their is a PCA race down in donaldsonville this November mabye you should come check it out, and see what the N/As do on the track...that is until the Kelly Moss GT3s get on the track . It is at the NO Problem Raceway about 30 min from New Orleans.

What did you expect him to say? You hung the apple in front of the horse and he bit it like he wanted... Except now your blaming him for biting your finger too...

Not that I disagree with his statement at all....
