Question European Car Mag: Project 951

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything more about Project 951? Its been a few months since they started it and havent had any updates on the site. I'm not a subscriber to there mag so dont know if they wrote anything in mag and not on site.

They keep that pretty much up to date with what comes out in the mags. Not been anything I've seen in the mags of late.

They seem to be updating only every couple of months or so. I've been looking for too.

Sheesh, about time they noticed the 951. I subscribed to that magazine for a few years, They had one good article about 951s, and IIRC they only really raved about the 951S. How many GTIs can you mod and completely ignore the 951?? A stock '86 would whup most of their featured cars.

Their project 951 is going to be a real underachiever in the numbers, as those power levels are all they want. With what they've got on the car they can easily get another 80hp with only a race gas change.

I think their goal for their 951 is 400 to the wheels.

Numbers seem a lot lower than what people have been able to get here. I think they should subscribe to rennlist to pick up some pointers, lol.

I agree. When I read that they were wanting about 300hp, I thought they were wasting their $ by underachieving.

Maybe they don't want to upset their 911 readers.

They may have ran into problems with the plan that originally included Huntley Racing to set up the suspension. Maybe Huntley has it behind locked doors in the dark
