    Yeah, 289's with the two barrel put down 130hp @ the wheels in good original tune. They can be made into much stronger runners, but that's not what we went for. The body integrity isn't there for a whole lot of speed.

    A cam alone would have made a big difference because stock cams are especially conservative, and there are some head options which would have backed up a slightly beefier cam, but we consciously chose to pass on those options when building the motor. The car's a cruiser, after all.
    An it harm none, do as ye will

    Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.

    That car is brilliant and I envy you much!
    Enjoy the Porsche, I wish you eternal working condition!
    I am a n00b for now, but I plan to become auto savvy the same way I became computer hardware and water-cooling savvy: through FORUMS

    Hope nobody minds...

    06 6MT Ivory Pearl, with no ironing board. No brembos offered in 05 & 06, so just the regular brakes.

    yeah i would recomend fitting them, or the nismo equivalents. they hardly fade after hard driving. but youve got that extra power so were even

    EDIT: I wouldnt take my car without the ironing board. It completes the early gen. manual/Diamond graphite look

    When you make claims like this, people are unsurprisingly sceptical. I am highly doubtful of this claim - UCP has seen many people come and go and claim to have all manner of cars - the internet seems to be a breeding ground of liars and people with histrionic personalities. If this is your car, how did you manage taking the roughly 500kg off the base model weight of the 300C? This seems ludicrous frankly - a weight reduction of this magnitude it highly unlikely and very impractical.

    Anyways, if you want to shut us up, take some pics of the car and show us the mods - including one of a piece of paper with your user name on the gearstick - this is called an Eggnog test after the UCP member that came up with it to prove that you own it. Mind you, why do we need proof of a car that has had a 500 kg weight reduction anyways? The probability of deception is huge.

    thats not my issue at all. i would expect someone with those upgrades to know its a startech supercharger, and borla exhaust, and that they dont do suspension. thats why im throwing the bullshit flag.
