you guys are talking about 25 k.... ummm what about the rest of the car ?
that's just "under the hood."

Replica or stock, you're still able to RUN MORE BOOST !! and when you do, it's OVER.
the 911 turbos were not detuned from the factory, as were the 928s and 968 cars.
this car would destroy every other porsche from it's day on a real world simulator like the GLEN with ease.

Three Wheelin'
Mine's a turbo RS replica...
And then we went and added ballast weight back in and turned the boost down so I could compete in GTS-2 in NASA!
God, the stupidity of it all!! But, I did take 1st place at Millville on 4/17 and 4/18...
Still...you spend $$$ to lose weight and gain power...only to put it back in and turn it down.
