'95 960 t5

[Nari]

Thanks!
Interesting question! Well, it is hard to compare because the 850 had a rica tune. It was basically an "off-the-shelf" car. The 960 is on VEMS and not tuned properly, yet... it feels fast, but def. not as fast as the 850 was.
The other day boost creeped up to 1.5bar. Well... that was quick, but hit the overboost protection. That part of the table is not done, yet. So better keep it safe.
And the drivetrain loss is greater in the 960...

But if you ask if the 960 goes better sideways.. with open diff... in the rain... better than the 850, the answer is YES

TBH the current power level, whatever it is, feels fun enough. I'll try to get it sorted for 1.2 bars and concentrate on suspension, brakes and diff. High speed cornering is scary, don't have front swaybar at all and the boaty suspension is still there. Kinda scary when it goes sideways and the whole thing is just wobbles around. Spent quite a bit of time in well prepped drift cars, drove them a tiny bit and the lack of control in the 960 is quite substantial.
There is a saying about power and control...

Oh, yeah and my skills... they need to sharpened a bit. Don't want to wrap the car around a pole.

edit: I reckon with the correct suspension setup, correct tune a 960 would outhandle the 800 platform cars. It just feels great. I'm really excited to put some real suspension under it.
