No chance that 951 was making 450 h.p. If it were it would not only have smoked that hybrid, but it'd beat damn near anything out there - I believe that's a higher power-to-weight ratio than the Ferrari F50, it'd be enough to beat a Z06 (assumed stock, a modded one might give it a real run), etc. No chance he was really developing that kind of power. Maybe he had his boost dialed down, or the engine wasn't running right, or he just forgot to punch it. Either way, totally bogus.
They shouldn't have been street racing anyway.

"I'll close with another semi-famous quote "my lug nuts have more torque than your engine""
LOL, he thinks hes talking to Civic owners. Someone post some good dyno charts in there LOL.

"All modded 951's I've known were high on hp but painfully low on torque. "
ALMOST ALL FORCED INDUCTION MOTORS MAKE MORE TQ THEN HP" Air=Tq.

GT2 = 3200 lbs (aprox) and 460 hp (old version) = 6.96 lbs/hp
370 * 6.96 = 2574 lbs
951 ones aren't THAT light are they?

If he is talking about a 370 rwhp I think that translades to a 430hp at the flywheel (15% drivetrain power loss) at that level he could certanly take on the 996tt but I still don't know about the GT2.
The 951 weight is about 2950 pnds.

Come on guy's.
No matter how fast our cars are ( or we think they are) there is always somebody faster. Whether it be a V8 hybrid, a Civic or a Yugo, anything can be made fast

David, I agree with you on that, and i don't think anybody is making that claim about our cars being the fastest. Iam are just trying to prove that 951's have plenty of torque if you know what i mean.

Additionally, I have banned (and logged the IP's) of ecudooberhead and Lart951.
Incidentally, on the Porsche Hybrids Board, we refer to no one as morons or idiots. It just doesn't inflate our self esteem.
