I certainly am too. I just meant that if my N/A had another ~100hp, it would be about the perfect car for me for a LONG time. Not saying I currently have the skills to put those 100hp to their maximum use, nor can I put the 150hp I currently have to their maximum use. Sometimes I just wish I had a 944 Turbo.....I think it is all relative though. If you are one N/A 944 running with a bunch of temp tag GT3s and Turbos in Green group, it gets annoying when they just mash the gas on you at the straights. On the flip side the challenge is then to stay all over them in the corners and under braking, which is fun in itself. I guess what I am saying is if you are running a N/A 944 with a bunch of other N/A 944s, then you really don't miss that loss of HP. You are all going basically the same speed on the straights.
