Quicker than a stock 930, IMO at the time. Nobody leaves turbo cars stock, though, if they care about bragging rights.  |
Well, this is putting well over 120 whp of a stock turbo swap. My car has a streetport (stroker motor is piston terms) with built internals. I was on a race/pump mix with a played with the 997 on the highway. Cool guy though, he waived and had a big smile on his face. On a road course he would eat my lunch for sure. On an on ramp and up to 120 however, my car is just faster by a few car lengths.
My point is straight line performance is a blast and in the twisties it is definitely no slouch but I just thinking of a Europa to do that job instead, that's all.
