Set - Local dyno shop
Characters: Dyno operator, new 944 turbo owner

Dyno Operator: Here you go sir - 300 rwhp (if he is lucky).
New 944 owner: No worries. The seller claimed 400 rwhp but since the previous owner of the car just passed away I am not angry. I do not feel defauded. At least until I find out the 3 year old PAIN job was done at Macco.
Dyno Operator: Hmm - ah yeah - that will be $75 for the run - good luck.

I agree completely. Mis representation is mis representation.

Its wrong and everyone who knows anything about 951's is going to know that. Hopefully we don't have a rookie/non lister buying that car.

Not to be argumentative (and I consider you a buddy John) but I've had three 951s over the last 8 years and it hasn't been but for the last year that I have gained a good understanding of what mods it takes to reach 300 or 400hp. Maybe that is why according to our pal MrPorsche that I am still driving an $8k 22 yr old car at 31 If I were a little smarter maybe I would already be beyond that and have a sl600 and a z4 and 100k in the bank and a girlfriend in a yellow dress.....

Says it's an 86 but has the 180 mph dash... makes me wonder if the miles are accurate.

I used to paste away when I was a little kid. I would paste for hours and hours. You should have seen how many macaroni paintings I made.

Well perhaps a probing friendly email is warranted...

Hey Kevin - have you ever tied your car down to the dyno? Trying to sort out some HP issues on mine and you have a lot of the same mods as I do....
