hey I just thought I would add that the most impressive cars out there(most were NOT normally aspirated like the one in my car) was the cadillac cts-v and they 2009 - 2014 were pushing over 600 rwhp and drive normal on the street...all were daily drivers .....from Ligenfelter the massage package is 11K dollars and WOLLA ! you have north of 700 hp...here is a dyno sheet....


I love my 928 and will never sell, I see another car in my future though!!!!

these guys were running 15 psi boost....dyno tuned....I wonder if my old raptor sc from pre stroker will help get the numbers up a little....just 5 psi or 7 with intercooling will bump me up a little.....

Just dreaming.....never satisfied....I am a basket case..!!!!

I'm driving my 928s around these parts on a daily basis until I get my 944 up and running again, so if you see me, I'm in a gunmetal gray one

Have you tried a quarter mile with your car? The 171.2 mph standing mile should by a rule of thumb (3/4x) translate to 128.4 quarter mile trap speed. That in turn would by guess translate to about 6 lbs per average wheel hp. By average wheel hp I mean the time average over the used rpm band. Are these guesses in the ball park?

Sounds like you need a track car.

Nice job Andy.
Tried to tell some before watch out for modded CTS-V's there are more out there than some think.
Another car in your future?CTS-V?

A CTS-V is in my future....probably next year....... Mostly since my wife LOVES them.....oh darn....

The "good" part is the CTS-V coupes don't tend to be driven alot of miles and they depreciated like a ROCK......think 25% residual after 5 years....that will be a monster performance bargain for under $20k
