Post Just drove 951 home

Hi, I just got home from purchasing my first 951. The drive home was amazing. The power as compared to my 85.5 NA is incredible and the brakes are even more impressive. I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for the car. Tomorrow I plan on washing, waxing, and detailing it all day. Oh..and I have a quick question. For a stock 951, what rpm does the turbo kick in at?

Congratulations! Have fun detailing. One thing I noticed coming to this car new was that you really have to put your foot into it (in stock form) to build boost. More throttle travel than previous cars I owned and boost lag on top of that. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to mashing on the throttle.
