Re: I raced a Conquest turbo.

ya - the biggest difference between the cars is the weight I'll bet - he "needs" that turbo just to keep up with you - lol

Re: I raced a Conquest turbo.

I didn't think they weighed all that much. My friend had one for a while and that thing was pretty quick. They should be capable of low 15's. Damn I should have bought it when I had the chance

My car does low 15s... Conquests are nothing special... like a 944 only slower...

Re: I raced a Conquest turbo.

Oh yeah I definently agree. But it's also a turbo car (if you get the turbo version) and they are old, so you can buy one fairly cheap and do upgrades for a reasonably cheap price. I know a guy who picked up one for $500 last summer, of course it has a blown engine and is an automatic; but he has 2 or 3 good engines and manual transmissions laying around. I give a lot of respect to DSM's.

That's great, but the Conquest was a 2.5 sohc rwd (just like my old 944 except my 944 was N/A)... I'm sure someone could fab up a 4g63 6 bolt though...

Re: I raced a Conquest turbo.

Why fab up a 6 bolt for it? Those old turbo motors do great with the nowadays technology we have. Doesnt take much to make one pretty quick. Good kill.

Re: I raced a Conquest turbo.

Sorry, that's what I ment when I said the guy I know had a few engines laying around; all 4G63's. I should have specified that they weren't the stock engines. I'm losing it lately.
