Man that thing is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Man I would trade my L for that in a second!

 

Must be something in the air... I got to run a porsche for the first time yesterday. Mine was a 944 body style with "turbo" on the back. Normally I can resist street races nowadays, but this guy was begging for it. He was driving erratically, weaving, etc. I initially let it slide but we came to a stoplight together, both of us at the head of our lanes and nobody on the road ahead (no cross-roads either). So, not wanting to initiate anything, I started out "normally" and watched what he did. Apparently that turbo takes a while to spool, because he started out slowly too then jumped ahead. So of course I get harder into the gas, just to let him know I was there and wanted to play. He's still accelerating so I go WOT and start creeping away from him. I didn't want to go too fast on the street, so as soon as I made it clear I was pulling strongly ahead of him, I let off. He goes past, not taking the clue.

So, luck of all luck, we hit yet another stoplight, both at the front and with the same conditions ahead as before. This time he's well aware of what's up, because I can hear him revving his engine constantly. I glance over and he's not looking at me, just watching the light. The light finally turns green and he gets a slightly better ET than me due to my always checking for cross traffic before entering intersections. I pound the throttle and the truck leaps forward like only a Lightning can. Seriously, he was 3-4 car lengths back in the first few seconds. I beat him so bad that I got out of it right away - it was clear this race was a mis-match. The best part was, he slowed down after that experience and never came up next to me again - he just hung back a few lengths, tail between his legs. Felt great.

Yeah, well I raced one coming out of a toll plaza and it kicked my ***. Then we raced from a roll (around 45 mph), and it kicked my *** again. So we tried a third time and it was like I wasn't even on the gas. I wanted to trade the stupid L in for something quick. It was obviously a twin turbo. I'm a little quicker now so the race would be a little more even.

Reminded me of a race I had in the mustang (back in the day) against a GN we used to call the space shuttle. That thing would pop, spool up, and leave you sitting there dumbfounded.

 

Watch out for these though...like SrtuckInAz said...





This is my neighbors car...i've been dying it race him in my L(not stock) or with the Cobra...


Pretty Nice Cars

 

those lines on the road ?

It looks like he went backwards and locked up the brakes until it stopped.

Yeah...

 

Hung with a Porche!!!

I was gonna say that you prolly get all the women but I see you meant something different.

 

I can't believe that that Turbo came with white sidewalls .........yuk!
