So got the new Car & Driver magazine in the mail today and after a quick flip through the new 911 turbo does 0-60 is 2.9, and ran 11.0@128. I'm just blown away to see a magazine test a stock car and run those times. De-cat/straight pipe, remap, lighter (better looking) wheels and your running 10's.
Price as tested was $158k (base 133k), but i'm not trying to get into that debate. Makes me wonder what will be happening in 5 years. I've been a sucker for porsche turbo's for a long time now, i gotta find a way to get a ride in one of these.

 

They're fun to say the least.

 

"I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time. It doesn't matter wheather you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning." Ahhhhhhhh

 

Porsches are the ****.

Drifting was "kewl" 5 years ago. It's so blah.

 

They just keep stepping there game up, and usually i don't get hyped up over stuff like this but considering the magazine ran those numbers in a stock car that's probably insanely civilized for everyday driving just really took me back. The reliability of it comes into play as well.
Curious what Road & track magazine will run when they get there hands on it. Their my favorite "stock" production car magazine. I just get C&D for free so i flip through it.

 

im gonna convert my evo to RWD so i can drift just like fast and furious 3.....its like being the smartest kid with downsyndrom

 

Drifting is pretty cool, and I dont mind it. To be able to control a car like that is pretty awesome too. I just didn't like that fact that prices for junk rwd cars suddenly went up 10 fold, and everyone started driving around trashes and justifying that they're part of the car culture...

 

i agree with chubacca

 

It's 8am and Delta has already cancel'd my 4:45 departure!

 

that sucks, chu. if you want to come down to the hospital here in south philly with a case of NN i'd partake in a few then see some patients.

actually i am tearing out of here at like 1pm.

so i am go my UICP on yesterday with the help and advice of josh. now i just need to get tuned.

 

Good job Dan. Now that you actually have a set date, I think you're more thn like to add some additional parts to the mix!

I talked to Pete briefly last night, and I think we'll be tuning my car sometime arounf mid to late March. We;ll see how it goes...I may have some additional parts by then!

 

Yeah Dan, you parts buyin ***** you!!! Not get a Hallman Pro and you'll be ready to rock!

Chu, that sucks about your flight, no @$$ for you!

Hopefully I'll be picking up and o2 housing today and the Touge Factory shipped my order Friday so that should be here soon too.

 

i am looking into pricing for some 800cc injectors and possibly fuel pump. looks like it is going to come out to more than i expected. i'd like to have it all set for the 6th so it can be a one stop to the krazy horse.

 

knowing Mike, he'll prolly ship your order today if you do it by 3pm. Question is, would the shipping service deliver it on time with this weather. TF is a great shop, glad your choose them! Do you plan to port the housing Pete?

Dan, get some 1000cc. Anything below are for whimps! lol
