1988 Porsche 944 Turbo, "S" turbo, SFR 3" stainless exhaust, SFR cat bypass, Fabspeed downpipe, Lindsay boost enhancer, Autothority stage II chips, Koni yellow shocks and M030 sway bars, 255 rear tires for bigger bite.
Those are most of the mods. HP is a conservative 300hp! The shocks and sways help keep the car stable when going in a straight line!
Based on my calculations and times of my GTO with 350hp and an extra 1,000 lbs of mass I would say the quarter mile should take about 11 seconds, 60 should appear in 3.2 seconds, and 100 in 8 seconds. Top speed is as much as your depends can take or about 235mph. And my watch is as fast as my car!! Much of this speed is attained due to the fact that the heavy factory seats were replaced with lighter Momo seats, and i am a svelt guy.
Oh, i forgot to mention, these times are easily attainable because my car has zero turbo lag. yes zero!
reality check kids!

Yep.
0-60 is a poor measurement of car performance. You can test it 3 times, then replace your clutch/transmission/whatever. In almost any car, not just one with KNOWN clutch/trans weaknesses.

Yeah, my time probably could have been better, but I didn't launch it hard. I've never done quarter mile though, so I have no idea what it would be.
I think we should ask you why you are wanting to know all this information...

I used to test that stuff but I blew out the flux capacitor in my car. Now that I am older, more wise, and definately more serious about my cars, I exclusively use a Mr. Fusion device and would not condone such things...

its not a measure of a car's performance necessarily but it is in a way, its take off speed and acceleration.. and how sturdy your parts are 
if you take off and something goes.. it was probably gonna go anyway

I have had my NA up to about 124mph indicated at PIR. I am running 225/50/15's though.
It has more but... pesky long 5th. Horsepower and gearing are the limiting factors.
