Learned on my black 944T that peak don't mean nuthin because of the turbo lag.
The white one at 275, and the black on before I boosted it up to 400 was faster than the black one at 400.

When I was at Hallet with the 275 rwhp car I was trading laps with Ron Forstall in his RUF. He was very fast, and came over to see me after the session because I was trading laps with him.

More than just horsepower matters, also suspension setup. My suspension was setup on recommendations from Andial, that setup the 917s. It was stiffer than stock, but softer than the 944 cup car setup. Something about a turbo will be slower with rear suspension that is too stiff.

I was able to hit 105 at both the Lloyd Noble parkinglot and Sheriff's training center parkinglot autocrosses in my white 944T. The start to those straights were entered slower, 40 and were much shorter than the back straight at Hallet.
