SANTA POD

I'm signed up no.18, but numbers are a little thin on the ground.
Must be more people out there who want to see how close they can get to the numbers in the books?
 
You guys must be made of money.
How to knacker your drivetrain in one easy lesson - go dragracing.

I'm in. Quite keen to wear out my clutch package so can go to a lightened flywheel afterwards!

PS: Sailor, our 964 turbos can take a bit of stick. Remember they are old school 911- built like tanks!
 
Agreed, my boy, our aircoolers are pretty bulletproof.
BUT when the red mist descends, and you dial up 4thou and slip the clutch, don't say I didn't warn you!
Don't think Porsche built these cars to go dragracing.Racing starts are programmed in but there is a subtle difference.
Anyway, since I can't put you off, have a stonking day.

Sailor, as you probably know the 965 quotes 4.8 seconds 0-60 as per Porsche but that's with a gentle start. Apparently some magazines did some tests in the early 90's and got 4.3 seconds with high revs launch... and that's before any mods!

But of course you're right, won't be easy on the clutch...or the tyres. Previous owner to me had the foresight to install 'sports' clutch (pressure plate) so I can thank him for that!
