But I did beat out a Porche Boxer
Is that the secret narrow Porsche Boxster - too narrow for all the letters?
Thought so.
BTW to the guy who started this thread, generally speaking it's 15 pounds off for one hp advantage, not 10.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're good for absolutely
nothing but a lot of fun to push down the stairs.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a raindance.

Just buy an old talon/eclipse(90-94) turbo awd. Put an exhaust,fuel pump and a mbc on it. Turn the boost up to 18psi and run 13.30 all day long. I just got out of the Mitsubishi scene and miss it. What I do love about my Volvo is it's luxury!!! One thing for sure is I will not miss repairing my eclipse everytime it breaks $$$$.
My 850r wagon just had a Timming belt,turbo drain tube seal replaced, new plugs installed all for the cost of parts(66 dollars) and a 52.00 game of golf.
The timming belt and plugs were installed in my garage in less than one hour!! I could not believe how quick the timming belt went on. My eclipse would have taken me half the day.
Life is good when your brother in-law is a volvo tech of 13 years.
Wednesday he will be doing a trans flush with synthetic oil and doing a wheel alignment for a 26.00 game of golf and I already paid for the golf this weekend!!!
My goals are to get my 850R to run a high 13 low 14 sec quarter mile. I will make it happen without any weightloss to the car. 18T,exhaust,Ebc and I should be real close!!

with a 16T, stock exhaust without cat or muffler, MBC, and 1 bar ECU running at 16 PSI with 1:1 mix of 110 leaded and 93 pump gas I ran a high 13 full interior no weight red. (well no spare tire due to other reasons 
)
