Congratulations on your NEW car. That was the color I was looking for either blue, silver or grey. I could not find that color . There are almost no 944 turbo's for sale around Chicago,for some reason when I was looking. I ended up hopping on a train and bought a white colored one. Lucky you , sharp color and only 60K . WOW

There are guys with just chips making over 220 at the wheels (257 flywheel).

BTW, Congrats on your 951, once you go boost you never go back!

Congrats!!!! Boosting is very addictive....and such a blast!!! Enjoy her!

FWIW, my car totally stock with 101k miles on it was putting down 201 RWHP..... No idea with the current mods though.....

Cheers!

Congrats Shortyboy. You're going to love that car. Careful, the power and boost can surprise you.

Hey I'll be in Honolulu in late June. Maybe we could get together and maybe check out your new ride?
