my gut says 350whp isn't enough for 160. I intend to find out will be my goal HP in street trim come spring.

And hey - don't forget you need safety gear. Don't blow all your cash on go fast stuff
with 350whp you can go 160 plus no prob i went up to 150 and had to back off but the car could of reached 160 no prob

Ship your car over there?? where the heck do you live man?

Think any 928 guys will be there? Maybe you can be their official porsche mechanic on duty since most of those old fogies don't know how to change their oil, they have the dealership do it.

I live in NY. thats like a 2day road trip and we are prob driving 2 cars down there. We are not sure yet. But still its allot of driving

I dont think my jack is going to be able to lift a 928 to much weight for my craftmans racing alumin jack.

Your jack can lift a 928.....as long as your girl ain't sittin' in it. As far as being ol' fogies, I'm but 37 years old. I change my own oil BTW. Can't afford not to as the the 928 tis expensive to live with..... fat ol' biatch is drainin' me quick!

I call BS on that, there is no way a 951 jack can lift a 928 with your girls, I can prove it;

If I had to feed those gals, I would have to downgrade to a 951.

Enough bull shyt. Lorax, if you really wanna do a 160mph standing mile I will help you. You buy the gas, and I will provide the tow rope and the 928.
