Eyal's Visit To The Shop

ummm, I think I'll let the escalade alone. Not racing thank you. He can go roll his "ride". A 500 HP escalade is pointless.
I never said that some of these guys arent savy, i just don't see how they would have any knowledge on my 951. right guys? any of you ever owned/worked on a 944 turbo? anyone sick of this thread and think its too OT, and not want it to be the longest of GT history?

I had a 1988 that we chipped, exhaust, changed banjo nut, etc etc. The damn thing would scream! I still think that the bang-for-the-buck that you get from a 951 can't be touched in most cars costing 3 to 5x as much. Unless you go strange. I had a 1971 (I think) Datsun 240Z that I put a custom HI PO small block V8 with a small nitros kit in. Over 525hp on the dyno. Talk about fast; if I remember right, 0-60 was close to 3 seconds. What a blast!

Very true... for those of us who can do the work, you can't beat the 951. Performance in every sense possible, and comfort to boot. I love Lorelei... always will; she always puts a big ol' grin on my face
I can't think of a single car that is this fun to drive under 10x the price I paid, bar one certain kit car: the FFR spec Cobra.

Ok, the escalade that will be here bosts: 0-60 in 6.5..lateral acceleration .88G's....etc. Eyal called "bs" on the www.villagcoffeeroaster.com forum. So the bet is, if it can do the 0-60....he was to down another bottle of syrup.....any suggestions on the flavor? for more info on the caddy: www.dyno-proven.com

i didnt call bs on the 6.5 0-60, which isn;t verry impressive. you can get anything to do that, and my car is faster in stock trim. MY beef is with the .88g lateral skid pad. I also find the car pretty pointless.

I'm not too convinced of the Boxter myself... however, I have heard as underpowered it is to wear the badge, that it is THE most flingable car out there. Makes sense I guess; low polar moment of intertia, mid-engine, RWD.
...any owners willing to let me find out for myself??
0.88g in an Escalade? You've gotta be kidding me! ...right??
