Coming home this morning after a car GTG and this guy in a modified Mazda3 is up my butt. I go onto the clover leaf and have traffic in front of me, so can not let him get a lesson yet. Out of the clover leaf we both go, I hit the gas and he thinks because I put the 944 numbers on the back he is going to waste me. AAAHHH, modified 951 with all the goodies. He finds out in a split second just how fast I am. In the time of maybe 6-8 seconds I am so far ahead of him, I had to pull over to wait for him to catch up. He knew he was wasted and gave me the thumbs up. Sometimes things are not as they seem and he found out the hard way.

951 =1:
Mazda3 =0

And this was all theoretical of course. Yep, these cars can certainly be sleepers.

Hey, ex fed, kind of ticket immune. Sleeper my car. Took of turbo bumper have hidden scoop under 944 bumper. Only tell tale sign is the turbo rear valance.

was it the 148hp or the 263hp?

can you show a picture of what you're talking about with the bumper?

Stephencs601

Scoop is under the bumper. We noched out the rear of the bumper and put a plastic scoop directly to the intercooler and radiator. Works so well. Car is an absolute beast. Have to dial it down to 15lbs of boost to handle it on the street. I had it to 19 lbs and it was way too much for the road.

Those speed3's can be built pretty well. Theres a 600hp example^^

Van

I bet that develops some torque steer!

A lot of tire spinning with no movement

these cars can be huge sleepers.. as mine looks 99% stock from the outside, the only give away is my front mount.. but you still need to be able to pick it.
I've thought a fair few people in a theoretical simulation that you just don't mess with these cars..

I own both and I prefer to drive my speed3, though my 951 hasn't run in forever. One issue with the speed3 is that it is not very stable over 100mph, which is fine for a street car, and the exact reason why I bought the car.
