KC2K12 - turbo V8 land, unless you are a supra

^West side? Boo.

bigger than a DSM? hahaha (that's vague that's why its funny)

[bramagedained]

So turbo + V8 = easy 650+whp. Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting time with this DSM, but there is that traction thing..........

If anything ever happens to my Evo I'm jumping ship and going to a boosted v8.

I'd love to see what you would throw together.

I work in Plymouth now, so yeah west side. We will have 5+ acres and a shop set up for lifts. Car will be a turbo V6 (a little less vague). It is a chunk of change for one though and I have to try and figure out where that fits in the equation with getting a new house.

...a matte white 240z, with a boosted small block, 6 speed and back halved rear to stuff good sized tires under. Stripped and caged but 'finished' inside so it doesn't completely look like a racecar inside.

Strangely specific, I know, if/whenever I get another fun car that's what it will be, especially since I have a truck now I can DD. I took delivery of my Raptor yesterday, and so far no chance in hell of buyer's remorse and I've not even got to 'play' with it yet.

I thought you were going turbo flat 6?

I was pretty set on that, but after really getting in to the 996tt the AWD system is a total joke. Basically they just put a huge viscous coupling near the front diff and that is the AWD system. Most of the guys just ditch the AWD and go RWD because if you do much spinning it just burns up the viscous. They can make good power and the drivetrain holds up well in RWD, but I want AWD as this will probably be a year around DD. I will have a small SUV (probably my 99 S10 blazer) for really crappy days but I want to drive the fun car 95% of the time.

I have had a couple of the AWD 996TTs on the dyno that ended up having a broken AWD system and the owners didn't even know it.

Yep, they have to use a dyno that mechanically links the front and back or they burn up the viscous and around 50% of them are burned up already and people aren't aware of it. They only transfer 5-20% of the power to the front wheels and that is after the viscous heats up and they are usually done spinning by then anyway.

997tt has a great AWD system.
