95 S6 Test Drive Results

[David Head]

That S6 is a fair amount heavier than your 87. Being (I imagine) stock
should pull quite well from low rpm (K24) but overall not be a whole lot
quicker. It may have the bypass valve leaking by also. I've ridden in Bob
Myer's S6 and its probably 15% quicker than my old chipped 5K - he was
running the sucky Tap chipset but was leaning toward MTM, if she who must
be obeyed agrees...
