Default Another bitten by the Trubo bug.
Went to work on a buddies race car (spec Miata) he let me take the 951 out for a spin. Medium moded race/street car. A lot less power on the take off, but man when that turbo kicks in . Whoooo ha.

It's so good it should be illegal.

You don't need more power in a 951. man can that thing pull in the high RPM's. It was scary fast. We were on the twisties too. Get yourself in trouble Beaucoup quick.

I was once also bitten by the turbo bug 1 year ago when I had my n/a. After driving the turbo i bought the 951 a week later. Thats how good this car is.
