I've chatting with Todd (see the 427 link in my sig) about making a 3.5 liter N/A 16V 944S just for the hell of it. That possible project has nothing to do with this thread - just felt like bringing it up.

I found this clip on youtube. http://youtube.com/watch?v=dWppHQ5UWCk
I don't know hp numbers but it sounds like its reving really high. Has any one ever seen this car? The movie is at Pocono Raceway.

Here in eastern Canada we have local racing at Mosport/Tremblant/Shannonville. Two years ago an 8v 2.7L motor with Milleadge parts and a Motec was easiling keeping pace with MODIFIED turbos. (The car was very light and the driver was excellent!!)
Anyhow, the owner reported that the engine put out over 200rwhp. The times he was posting easily backed it up. Solid lifters, top end Milledge Cam, High-Compression pistons, Milledge barrel throttle intake, and so on... He estimated he spent $14,000 on the motor. Motor blew up last race of season, never saw him again.
My good friend has a 944S we dynoed at over 185rwhp. Very modified. Built by Ludwig Hiemraths ex-chief race mechanic. Very real numbers.
Just takes $$$.
cheers,
Patrick

Ive seen a 944 8v that was in a shop here in GA that the owner claimed made 180rwhp. I doubt he was lying.

It's unfortunate that costs have caused 951 and 928S4 aftermarkets to expand while their predecessors are left with little.
200rwhp is at the edge of believable, though I do believe it. What I don't believe is that someone would spend $14000 on an engine just to get it up to 200. You can buy a 968 motor for like $6000 and already have more than 200rwhp. But I'm glad someone had the determination and passion to do what nobody else was willing to, but everyone else wanted to see.
A 3.5L 944S??? You've got my attention!
