Your pick on 951 vs 3000GT VR4 vs 300 Z ??
So far my 951 only have chips and shim from weilmeister. One friend of mine has a stock 92 3000 GT VR4 and other has a stock a 94 300ZX . They want me to join their race next couple weeks, but I don't know my car can make it. I don't how much power they are. Any experience???.

You should be neck and neck with both. I have an article from Automobile magazine where they ran a Turbo S against the 300ZX turbo. It was basically a dead heat. Assuming your chipped 951 is as fast as a stock Turbo S, you should be about the same. I think the same should also be true against the 3000GT. Those two cars make more power than the 951 but they are also much heavier: over 3500 lbs for the 300ZX and more than 3800 lbs for the 3000GT

Jake, I'd be interested in reading that if you had an e-copy of it!

I've gone from a roll, about 20-70, with a stock vr4 when I was stock and he pulled just lightly at first, about half a car, then it just stayed that way till we shut down.

I have raced a 3000gt twin turbo. Is that the same as VR4??
Well, it was a 1st gear roll on, but with my buddy that was not used to my car driving, and I only had about 12 psi at the time and cat in.
He walked us till about 3rd, then we pulled up on him to his rear bumper, then he started to slow down. His was NOT stock. Had full after market dual exhast that I could see and possibly other mods. Put it this way, the reason we wanted to race him was his license read "FNFAST"
I always hope to find him now that my car is running to full potential.
So, 15 psi, standard mods on 951, yes you should win. If it is from a dead start, might be close, or he will at least get a good jump on you.
