So in that regard, everyone's all talk 'til we see some numbers. Get over yourselves. Make fun of the Japanese car community all some of you want to but, a street 951 has yet to even break 600whp, let alone a full on dyno queen motor making 1000whp(that we know of). Just FYI but, there are several models of Japanese 4 cylinders that have surpassed the 1000whp mark back in the late 80's and early 90's. I honestly wonder how many here have actually stepped outside of Rennlist and checked out what other communities have accomplished. Everyone just chill out, and have a little humility because 1000whp is coming about 2 decades too late. How about seeing something from someone else's perspective. Coming from other car communities that have accomplished a whole hell of a lot more, it gets pretty damn old hanging around a group that can't look down on those other communities enough. I've actually grown to hate this community in some ways because of the arrogance. Jesus. I decided to quit my project and will likely sell my 951 (as much as I love it) because the closed-minded attitude around here drives me nuts. No wonder not much has progressed in this community after a few decades.
David, I'm glad someone is trying to push the limits. I wish you the best of luck. Some of my opinions may differ a bit from yours but, that's what makes cars interesting. After speaking with you in the past, it sounds like you certainly have the skills to get the job done.
Oh, NZ951, actually the Gt42r&Gt42rs were the basis for the HKS T51r KAI & SPL (SPL being similar to the 42rs). They are a similar size frame and the wheels are also similar in size, although HKS' are of course proprietary and a bit different. The Gt45 series has significantly larger wheels!

selling your 951 project becuase of this community. Get real - you simply are not motivated or dedicated enough to get it done. People that live on forums need to learn to live in the real world. Why would you care about some forum? get a grip
Half of what you post belongs in the import forums.
No problem there - lots of forums for lots of interest - point being this is a porsche forum. If you want to focus on imports go to an import forum... but don't get your panties all twisted because 944 enthusiest don't give a **** about your import interests.

All the cars you have listed have poor driving characteristics , Yes they make big power , but are useless for anything other than drag racing . try taking your gt42 equipped monster for a lap at Sebring. you are comparing apple and oranges...

Yeah well, talking 600-1000whp is dyno queen and drag racer power levels. You can't possibly believe that much power would be useful for much else.

Or if that is too difficult maybe you can just stick to spitting your food everywhere and not bother posting snide comments. I don't know where to get a clue so why don't you give me one.
Because you are too lazy to do research here is Dave's website: http://customengineeredperformance.com/index.html

All,
I think it would be best to start a new thread, as this one was ruined. Feel free to keep up the nonsense. I do want to thank the people that have supported this and thanks for all the nice pm's.
In the new thead, I will post more info on the build.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
I wish you luck and look forward to reading more on how it all turns out. What would be nice is if there was a feature that allowed the thread starter to delete responses that polluted their thread.
