Post I got my turbo 2!

Well, add another 951 owner to the mix I picked my turbo up from Tariq this afternoon and drove it home (about 100 miles). It's the only time I have EVER enjoyed Chicago traffic! I did discover that the distance b/t 600 and 6500 rpm is much shorter on this car than my n/a I'm not believing the power. Quite a car and HUGE fun to drive.

Enjoy the car Michelle. It was a joy dealing with you. Glad to hear you had a safe trip back. Get that timing belt/water pump done! Hope you have many safe and happy miles in the Turbo. If you're ever in the area (with the 951 ofcourse) get in touch with me so I can see how the car's doing. I'm sure you'll love the car more than I ever could, and I'm sure you'll drive the hell out of it as it should be driven. There is no substitute.

Oh Michelle, You should really have a red 944. It won't be the same with a black one. I tell you what, I'll trade you either one of my red ones for your black one. <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />

Enjoy the rush. 60-100=
