I remember when you bought the turbo, Cory. I, like you, loved my N/A and thought I would never part with it. I'd had it for 8 years; through divorce, law school, and meeting Alicia. She was like a best friend or sister. Yet, one trip down the road in the turbo and the "For Sale" sign was up!!!!! I, too, have never looked back!

I didn't even ride in one before I knew I had to have one. I just couldn't stand the underpowered nature of the NA. Like a great body on a beautiful nun. All looks and no go.

When you add 50% more horses and 70% more torque, you are bound to feel something.

Sorry you feel that way. Not bagging on the car, but some people on this board have had very bad luck with 951s.

One of the few lines I can quote from the Boss...but it's one that always comes to mind.
