14.1 is my best ever - but it's always a soft launch - look at the 60ft time!

I never thought of the 951 as a drag car though :\

Good man! Great to see more guys dragging these days. That time, MPH and 60ft all checks out with the typical 944 turbo soft launch. I have done the same. Back on the track in 4 weeks, hoping for a low 13 if the track is preped and I my cluch does not slip through third.

I actually think I like the 951's looks better! I think it has better curves.

The Ferrari guy was pretty cool - we checked out the timeslips on the boot of his Ferrari! He's also a Porsche guy - his wife was running a Boxster S at the drags and he has about 5 others.....his watch was worth more than my 951...
