95ONE

All wheel drive is just damn sticky. 1.6-1.7 60'. That's just hard to beat with two wheels and extreme lag!

Those cars are just too sweet. I might get near some of the better times in the next month or two, but...... There's hardly any more than a race car left in my 951. They're probably blastin the A/c - Turning up the Stereo and Chilling out in line for the run. So very nice.

6 out of the 10 cars in the top 10 (and the top 3 cars) are actually RWD.

Then I guess they are HARD CORE!

And your point is exactly what? You want to complain about speed to money ratio?

I drag my 951 some because I ENJOY IT. Drag racing is an indication of power. Is it the fastest car? Hell no. Buts its fun to what the new vettes get pulled by a 4 banger. The 951 is also a little safer to drag race. If I really wanted to go fast down the drag strip, I would (and have).

I hear the anti-drag racing rant from the exotic guys all the time. Know why? Because they can't do it. The brag about how "fast" their car is but won't hammer it. Have you ever seen what happens on a lot of road races? They start with a DRAG RACE. A lot of the time the first car to the first corner has a HUGE advantage of not being in traffic. But I guess getting off the line hard isn't a big deal because its never used in road racing.

Yep, I guess you are right if you enjoy what you are doing it makes it right, after all it is your car. Funny there is a lot of homeless junkies right here on LA that sell their blood to buy boost you know why they do it because they enjoy it.

1/4 mile is not an indication of power alone dana, it's a balance of power, transfer of power to the road (traction) and driver's reaction. Get a 5000hp locomotive and see if it makes the 1/4 under a minute. LUISJR993 was right when he said that there is no way a 951 was going to trap over 130 or go below 11sec , you know why because the freaking german engineers who designed the car didn't have the strip in mind. Now get a 400rwhp 951 get it on the track and it will keep up with the best, engage with a 996tt, gt3, cobra, c5 zo6 from a roll and they will be looking at your tail lights.

Enough said, drag race the freaking thing, it is your joy, car and blood after all.

I don't think I would have a problem with a 400hp 944T, but find me one in AZ and I will run it for ****s and giggles, and post up vids of it.

lart951

Luis, from a roll a 944t with 400rwhp will eat you for lunch, you have to consider that the torque on a 400rwhp 951 will be also +/-400lbs at the wheels. A forced induced car tends to develop more power than a n/a once running cooler intake temperatures due to air flow improve power. Is there anyone that wants to race Luis from a roll 40-120mph run?

I am aware of what light 944's with some power can do, I have owned a few (and will probably own another one in the future).
I would not mind racing one in several different tests including the 40-120.

lart951

Hold on, you have owned a 944 as in 944 turbo?


There are some guys that own 944 turbos in Az post the challenge on the forum.

pole position

Luis, the German enginneers did have the standing start 1/4 in mind , somehow modified but nevertheless a standing start with their 0- 1 kilometer performance and 0-200 km/h. That has been done since the early 70's consistantly and usually made it into owners manuals. Germans don't care much, relatively, about the roll you are talking about, vmax is the name of the game.

lart951

Vmax? elaborate a bit more.

Weird thing is that I have a collection of articles about the 951 and 99.99 of them expressed how nimble, weak, torque lacking is the 951 from standing still or city driving.

pole position

WOT in the highest gear aka who can go the fastest. The roads , driver education and more relaxed speed limits help.

LuisGT3

I have never "owned" a 944 Turbo but my father had 2 that I became very familar with and I helped build a 400+hp 944T for the mechanic/buddy who helped me build my 944S2 club racer. Let's just say I am more familiar with them than most 944 Turbo owners, with the exeption of you and a few others on here.

lart951

ahhh, got you.

lart951

Luis, your car is light years ahead of the desing of the 944T, it will require serious mods to outperform your car on the track. But just for hard core acceleration, get a t04, 38mm tial, injectors, proper engine management and some 19psi of boost and you are ready to smoke some major car butt out there.
