I would be curious,..with a EG33 conversion or the 2.5 Turbos 0-60 times and also Hi-Way cruising speeds,. could U cruise at say 100-120 MPH depending on Trany ( I Know ) but whats the common numbers for those car's,..Taking the plunge ASAP and I cant do it quick enough..!!
The flat 6 conversion,equals 1980's Ferrari performance numbers easy and then some,.. |

Seems simple enough to just google what stock and modified Subarus do and then do the math for a lighter combo with less friction loss (2wd instead of 4wd) |

Don't know my 0-60 but that calculator puts me at 4.2 seconds and I've run a 13.0 quarter mile at 109. Curious Andy, have you ever done a timed quarter? Or anyone else with a P6 conversion? I don't recall ever seeing one.

Stock 901 transmission so i top out at around 135ish.
Never been able to do this for longer periods of time though, there really is no place in the US where you can keep this up safely. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Never been able to do this for longer periods of time though, there really is no place in the US where you can keep this up safely. I shouldn't say this out loud, but there is a place. Highway 50, "The Loneliest Road in America", east of Sparks to southwest Colorado. Relatively straight, no traffic, no roadside anything, just a lot of empty space. It was a favorite of ours commuting back and forth to Texas. Once I was cruising at 115-120 and saw a black speck in the mirror, gaining on me. I thought it was a Nevada trooper, the highway has signs saying it's patrolled from the air, so i thought I was toast. I slowed down to 85-90, thought I might be able to sell that to the cop, but ZOOM!! A black 930 went past at least 150 mph. Cool, so picked up speed but then saw another black spec in the mirror, again gaining, so I slowed down again, probably a trooper on the tail of that 930, but damned if it wasn't another 930 going probably a little faster than the first. I saw both cars in a restaurant parking lot another 50 miles up the road, but didn't stop. Have kicked myself since, I'll never know their story. Mine car's gone 130 with more left, but I wasn't in it so that's hearsay. I was angry when I heard that, I've gone 120 and thought the rear was getting a little light. I already have poor judgement, but someone else was 10 mph worse in the judgement department. So ANYBODY else done an officially timed quarter mile? |

F quotes...
Stock bodied car, the rear floats over 120mph. If you had to swerve for anything you're screwed. My 3.0L under 6 sec easy, using just 2nd. I've got the H gear. 3000 rpm at 90 mph all day long. Lots of roads in NV to open up on. Only 1 NHP car that I know of... Silver State Classic Challenge http://www.silverstateclassic.com/ |

It says ill be at 2.5 seconds... I know that aint happening. Ive played around with Forza on xbox and put in all the cars perameters (hp,weight,gear ratios corrected for anticipated top speed in each gear, tires, grip level, ect) what ive found was high 3 second 0-60 is possible, and 1/4 in 10.95 at 141mph.

Yeah, that's the problem with simulators and calculators, with what transmission would that happen and hold together? And so on. They're best for lively discussions with buddies while drinking beer.
