But let's take that discussion in another thread..
One last comment....CSI is MFI...and EFI is much more capable!

Here's a clip from yesterday displaying engine sound and acceleration at the track.
Speed is 70 km/h through the right-hander on to the straight followed by an early brake point at 220 km/h.
Large passenger (sorry Fredrik hehe) and full tank of fuel.

Don't forget to mention that this is only at .6 bar. Wait until you wind up the wick! The new HD looks a lot better too.

What can I say, I´m a walking 200 pound penalty weight. That was a really fun day, until the rain came, or perhaps the anti klimax was when Duke stopped behind another car on the roadside on our way home to check on a strange sound, and it turns out that there is a police car in front of the other car. Of course the police did a flying inspection on the 951 "now that you guys have already stopped". Duke got a ticket for the illegal front registration plate. "But officer, I stopped to check on a sound!" you criminal!

Now it´s out. Dont you ever call me large again....

Hahaha that was really funny. I didn't even see the cop when I stopped. The all of the sudded he started waving at me as if I stopped for him. Great guy though who apologized for his boss wanting to write a ticket for the front plate.

BTW, you have to switch from the gym to long distance running. It's better for lap times

Exactly, that's worth mentioning again. At 9 psi I'm running LESS boost than a stock 951 and it already runs very good. A modest 14.5 psi should gain approx 100 hp over current output!

The new HD works great. Both good picture and sound quality.

So true! A 16v with short runner intake has a much more race-like tone than a regular 8v

Yes that's me. That was the last session which I drove a bit softer (2 sec/lap slower than previous session).

Well, I have shared car with Magnus during a 'Ring trip and he chauffeured me around the NS on a VLN-training session.. He is a safe driver, but smooth is not really his style..

Ha, that's what I call turning yourself in. Voluntary arrest.
At least you kept the EVO and 9?? behind you even with Frederick and his deep sea diving belt on.
