Thanks, James. I don't want to sidetrack the thread too much. But it would be a good example of 80% of the resources going for 20% of the gain. The cars running low 1:25's at Willow generally have double my horsepower. Now, those are mostly SCCA T1 Corvettes, so it's not an apples to apples comparison. But I think even saying I'd get a full second out of 100 hp would be too big a claim. And adding 100 hp to a 993 motor would not be cheap.
Getting Tyson out there with the car for a day testing and shock setting changes would provide a lot more bang for the buck. If that got me a half or 3/4 of a second, I wouldn't be (pardon the pun) 'shocked.'

Well, the WORST photos I got from Luftgekuhlt came in the mail today. A right turn at a Culver City stoplight where I rolled through after the light had gone from yellow to red.
Busted.

Even getting busted by a red light camera, your car looks fantastic, Jack.
There are some fantastic shots in this thread though. Not sure if you guys have seen yet (I'm sure you have), but we also recently added our own gallery of Luftgekült photos to the site - Click here to take a look! |
