Cayenne Turbo Kill.!!!

I was on the way home from work this afternoon, tools still in the bed of my L, when i stopped at a light. There are two lanes for traffic and an suv pulled up next to me (Cayenne Turbo). I wasn't paying attention to it at all, then the light turned green and he took off. There was no traffic on the road for about a half mile or so, so i took off too. By the time i realized he was racing, i was already half a car behind. It was so cold out (20*) that from 1-2 my wheels started spinning out of control, so i let off and then got on it again. I caught up and then passed him and then shut down for the traffic. We got on the entrance ramp to the parkway and i let him get in the lane next to me, and it was on again, until around 90 or so....i was about a car and a half ahead when i shut down.....not bad, i guess.....

You shouldn't be racing on public roads. I'm glad I don't live around you!

I encountered one on the way home from the track on Sunday. On an 8 mile straight country road. I blew by him at 130 mph. He didn't want to play though hehe

which is one fast **** ****, imo...check out the 102 trap...thats excellent, and i think it COULD take a lightning with similar drivers. Ive seen mags rate the lightning at similar 1/4 times as well...So im guessing it could do a bit better than the 14.3 or whatever...well see.
