never claimed I was any better. the "I drive a sub 10K porsche, so im better then all attitude" is kinda annoying, and I'm calling it out is all.
Some cars on here are more cometive then hondas, but trust me, they ain't sub 10K!
On that note, Jeremy, you get passed by hondas, or do you pass them?
BTW, I've been to the track 10 times son. (Never in a porsche, cause it breaks all the time) Mostly in a honda, run red group, and I pass most everything)

That's a good point. How much HP/TQ can a 951 trans take? That is more than double the initial design intent.

I know, the turbo board often reminds me of a kindergarden playground. I just don't get why there needs to be so much drama.

ST runs a modified S2 LSD box. He pounds it pretty hard. He also has big sticky tires and a very heavy duty clutch.

Ashton and Eyal, if you have a problem with each other please take it to PM.

Looking again, those are such impressive numbers..geeeeez! It would have to be a S2 box right? I can't imagine what would happen with a turbo box...I bet you scare yourself when that turbo spools!

And thats 533rwhp on a mustang dyno which read lower than the more commonly used dynojet. Either way its damn impressive.

Impressive numbers ST!

I'm working on the vid. Guys in Europe do the 100-200 K run, so I'll do that.
Ted will tape it, when he comes down - he's good because he only weighs 86 pounds.
The car is set up for crazy understeer - nice and safe. I have been wrenching for various SCCA formula teams for 16 years, so I can set it up very conservatively. The shocks are Bilstein Escorts valved for my springs. Brakes are Turbo S - 100% new. Car weighs 2600 pounds.
New 275 Michelin Pilot Sports with 60% LSD (new clutches) spin at 75 MPH high boost - haven't tried any faster.
I run around at 18 psi pump gas most of the time - about 375 RWHP. It was more than enough to put a couple of bus lengths on a 997 Carrera S

Edit - more power now at 18 psi, probably closer to 400 RWHP with the headers.

That is not always true but is usually the case. Turbo cars do tend to do better on mustangs becuase they are loading dynos.
