Off the line as in “on a corner”. If thats what you mean don’t try it. You will probably spin out or go to fast to handle, so just use it on straight-a-ways. Unless you don’t value your car.
No, first you need to go buy a new porsche, a nice one thats manual not a 944, then tune the engine properly and not fuck it up with nitro unless you plan on making it a drag car which is the opposite of why those cars are made.
You probably consider what it will cost to repair the engine once it’s blown or for that matter the transmission. The 944 especially with it’s age isn’t the best choice for adding nitrous to. Sell it and by something else.
Well, Wylie Coyote…I recommend just before you shoot off the cliff…..that way you’ll be sure to make it to the other side.
p.s. re: automatics. you guys need to check out what indy cars are using in the F1 transmissions. Automatics are more robust, faster and more versatile than manuals and never, ever miss a gear downshifing at the apex……also its all part of the traction control system in these cars. power distribution and control.
Ill take paddle shifters anyday. the downside to us mortals is that a tiptronic can cost $2500 or more above a stick.
Just downshift before entering the corner, dude. I don’t think it’s advisable to use spray “off the line”, you will spin out and hit the wall…or the air till you hit the ground hundreds of feet down.
Good god people! Off the line = from a dig = standing start = from a stop. 944s have good winedy engines, but lack torque down low because of small displacement.
It has an auto because that is what Porsche saw fit to put in it!
Wow, cartoon references. I guess some people learned everything they know about cars from Warner Bros.
Anyway, ignore the children. Just go to any speed shop in your area. Talk to them about getting a window switch for your nitrous kit. This will only let the nitrous work at the rpm you select, say 3000 to 7000 rpm. Get a purge kit and bottle warmer too, if you don’t have them already. Nitrous can be completely safe if used properly.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Don’t shoot that nitrous with out having your RPM’s up past 2500.
You can Blow the head gasket instantly or worse.
Nitrous is for mid to high RPM’s only
Use it when the cops are chasing you!
And who buys a Porsche with an auto trans ?!?!?!

In a good time make sure your car has everything set at that time.
