Exclamation 944Fest - Dyno Goals - 20%

So, Alain and I just got back home from visiting Special Tool and Reno in CT.

14 hours of driving (there and back), to spend two hours with them... Figure that one out!

But, it was worth it. To make a long story short: "If anyone's car comes within a 20% range of Alain's whp (at the 944Fest dyno session), I'll consider it a failure" -Special Tool.

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I'd love to. Pity it's not later in the year. When is it actually?

Should be a great event. Good to see some interest in the Dyno runs. Look forward to the results.

btw 20% off 420whp isn't much. I'm sure there will be some others within that range

Well, of course anything below 520 RWHP (wheels) at the fest we will consider a failure with Alain's car.
It is, after all, a 2.7 liter car.
I am sure, however, that the 150 dedicated hardcore 944 racer witnesses will be considered insignificant in the eyes of the Rennlist community....

Yeah, just hold the crowds back!

Be interesting to see the torque curve on that motor.
