Yes If you want strong really light wheels fuchs is the way to go. I used to have bbs e88 wich broke all the time and the fuchs 18" are just as light as the e88:S so I think that is what I will go for next... Also they look superb on 951:s

Still have him beat with my 134 mph lol

Fast car though

Accualy that 944ev went 135mph in its last pass on that video. You two should meat up and race the quarter mile. It would be a good one to watch. And to drag race the 951 would end up costing A LOT of money! The 951 needs its own bank account as is, you might as well open a few more if you want to race these cars. I really want to race mine because that's what it's built up to do. Want to but can't afford too. After knowing how much $$,$$$ I've put into all the upgrades I think I would rather show it to others at PCA events and any other car events/car shows. I don't want to wrecking it again... I wouldn't mind getting it ready for hot August nights in Reno because that's really really really a sight to see!!!! You could drag race there. However... Not sure any of you have this same problem but I see a Honda Civic that can't help but think they are fast and cool I have to show them how they need a lot more(at least two times more everything) to keep up in every way. Then I get in my 86 944, same color red as the 87 turbo, and that same civic thinks it's my turbo and blows my doors off.

I'd race him with my Datsun, since they are both built to launch well. Not too worried about that race. However, I just can't see racing him in a transaxle 944 unless he wanted to race on the street or roll race. Completely different animals. Or, maybe we could go on a drive first and see if he can make a 50 mile trip and race without adding fluids, charging the batteries etc.

While I like the EV cars. I just won't put myself in a position where I'm only playing in the opponents sandbox. Has to be some kind of equalizer to be of any interest to me.
