not been all that far off. With Vast, Autospeed, and ATP all working on kits using Garrett turbos, I'm finally starting to believe that the CRAZY hp numbers may not be all that far away.

Ever seen KTR dyno chart? *serious* dyno queen. If we get to 2.9x FATS on KKK turbos, I'll be happy.

Default If I'm not mistaken...

Both Capone and Diego ran sub 3.0 FATS and Mike2ks4 is running pretty much 3.0 flat ...all of them running KKK turbos (the first two running OEM RSK04's)

Default Until you get there, it doesn't mean crap.

Bottlenecks and motor weaknesses might show up and suddenly show the limit of a motor so until someone gets into the high HP range, I wouldn't make any claims .

FYI, there are Supras making 1500WHP+ (Marko D. in Chicago). Speculation has it that the race motors are making in the 1700whp range when calculating their HP from weight and trap speed.

True, I know....but it's still pretty exciting. (Why'd you have to go and get all realistic?)

Default I'm probably not the first, but I've been saying that for years now.

I really think that this car will achieve a status similar to the Supra. Hang onto it for a few more years, and I think resale values will stabilize or even increase...

Default But the move towards supra-status necessitates the end of the S4 as daily-driver

Big power, but only at 5000+rpm.
