Either the 944 v8 is Hallucinating or the guy in the 89' 951 lied about his mods. But if the 951 had 450hp there is no way in hell that 944 v8 is going to come close. And there torque figures(245tq) are to small for a 450hp 951, something smells fishy

I think that was a little sarcasm, because we all know there are thousands of 450 hp at 18 psi 951's running around

Pedator posts on the 944 forum, seems to be a really nice guy and his V8 may not be stock and we all know big hp and torque can be made with those extra cylinders, so even if the dude did have 450 hp, he could be several hundred behind

There is no way a 450 hp 951 only puts down 245 torque and more unbelievable is that he would lose to a 370 hp hybrid 944. Something is very wrong with this picture. I have been in a 951 with 370 hp/370 torque and I know it would kill a 996TT and even beat a GT2.

Hmm dunno about blitz915 beating the 996TT and GT2, but yes, that guy with the hybrid was atleast guilty of fudging numbers. 450hp and 245 torque? Amazing car...

Let's see...245ft. lbs. max torque...the engine would need to rev to 9650 rpms to make 450hp. Must have been sarcasm, a misunderstanding, or hype.
