A kid I went to high school with was out crusing his old man's 930 turbo at age 15 and found out how quick they can get away from you, through a fence into a parked car. Needless to say he was driving a sh!tbox the whole time he was in high school after that.

Not to take away from the thread, but man those old 4 speed 930s were awesome cars... Ball busters for people who didn't know how to drive, but the right kind of fun for people who knew what they were getting into!

well I need to get pointed to the "step hulls for dummies" section because I have one and know nothing about its characteristics. Maybe its a good thing my eliminator never went past 35mph so I could educate myself. Now if they could only fix the damn thing..... thats another story, Ive been reading about to many accidents lately... not good my friends.
I just finished the first half of the Tres Martin Performance School today. This particular accident was discussed many times. The course covers in detail the type of trouble you can get into with a stepped hull and cats. I had to take th course for insurance, but would recommend to anyone, especially people new to the stepped hull, to take the course. Worth every penny.
