You match that number with your deal at 3000# race weight in 2014 and you did something. ps That number was set in 1996. That number also allows you to run your current combination (with the latest aluminum parts, turbos, etc.).

The more time that passes, the more incredible that performance shows itself to be.
Tom, was that car/combination at all streetable? All the Pontiac turbo builds today, that I am aware of, strive to be cars that have street manners and that level of performance (Dragweek type cars). Almost 20 years later that may be possible.
