...the money you will put into your C900 for serious performance will (by comparsion) not be worth it. But if you are like me, you won't care! If I wanted super straight line speed, the total budget of my C900 + mods would have made a high 10 second street car out of an old local offering (VL Turbo). I don't care, it's not a C900.
I'll love my C900 to pieces, and put it back together when I do.
My car has a Garrett GT2871R turbo with .86 A/R, 'strengthend' 5-speed, exhaust, fuel, ignition etc mods - making 240whp (on G-tech). I have upgraded IC, T5 cylinder head and aftermarket engine management on the way. The goal is to hold torque at sane levels to ~7,000rpm. Engine managment will have it running like a new car.
I don't intend tuning for much more power than I have though. Honestly, realisticly, 250whp is very quick and very fun in a C900, and within the bounds of not breaking things all the time. Realisticly, you are not going to take on similarly modded cars with a superior platform. But if you think about what it takes for your average RWD V8 to make 250whp, and the rest it needs to make up for its weight, a C900 will kick many a highway ass.
