It's a 250hp one, a lastest one (don't know exactly when it was build)... Front brakes are a bit "weak" regarding power (more than 330ps)

what's 250ps ? are you talking about psi of pressure ?

if he has the s-model brakes, which are the same as what is on the 928, there should be no need to upgrade the calipers as they are capable of locking up the wheels even with the widest, stickiest tires on the car.

in any case, you need to give more info about the car if you want an accurate response, etc.

'cause my friend is too young ;-) He's 16 and doesn't read or write or speak english... He's the son of my garage owner who takes charge of my 73' Porsche 911 2.4 restoration project (RGruppe tribute)...

Let me introduce Bruno, the 951 driver !!!




and this is his 951 (post above)

that looks like a euro car.

i'm curious what model year it is, because the turbo-s comes with the big brakes.
