ahh..but don't forget my boys (all 4 of them) are fast Ford nutters, my eldest has the Focus ST, he's modified two, the current build will be over 400bhp and a good friend of mine has a brand new Focus RS, I, therefore, do speak with some experience on these matters, yes they would leave a standard turbo but not so against a modified car, even less so against mine. The other thing about the 944 is its stability at high speed, I have never felt the car was unstable at speed...150...160...170.....no problem. There is a good reason why back in the late 80's, early 90's Porsche designers were very happy to list the 944 turbo as the fastest car in the fleet, even faster than the 911 turbo...it's the cars ability to hold the road when pushed beyond most drivers abilities......they are truly wonderful cars to drive...as you know sir....blade7 said:PSH said:As for being slower than modern traffic....a well modified turbo isn't concerned by such matters....modern Porsches in general are slower...only true supercars are going to leave you and since you'll be hitting 3 figures in mere seconds it's really not worth even trying...I'm getting far to old for such dangerous antics.....

I look forward to reading your posts Pete, and agree with most of what you write. You obviously know plenty about the mechanical side on a 944 turbo, but since the introduction of hotter hatches like the Focus RS and the Golf R I wouldn't bet my house on seeing the likes of them off in a 944 turbo, particularly in the wet. The older we get, the faster we were [].
