Me VS a new porsche carrera, highway run..

So last night comming back from a friends house I get onto the highway. The intrance ramp has a real sharp left curve that I really like to get into so I was holling through it at 55 MPH and then I looked back and noticed a car keeping up with me. I was like what the hell . So I straighten out and get onto teh quite highway and I notice the headlights getting closer, it's a porsche!! Cool I figured.. So as he comes up to me I am still going 55 MPH(hopeing it was a boxter) and I put the car into 3rd gear. I look over and pump the gas for a instant and the porsche steps on it and get's a car lenght on me, I emmeidiatly floored it in 3rd gear. We went form about 55 MPH to 120 MPH, at the end the porsche was about 5 car lenghts ahead of me.. Ohh well I thought but it makes sense since the car traps at 103 MPH and is probably a bit more arrodinamic(s?) in the 100 + MPH range. So from 55-120 he really only pulled about 4 car lenghts on me. Not bad I say! I just wish I had NOS for that race!

So does that mean I can pull 6 car lengths on you?

Is you car running better these days? Fix your problems?

Yep the car is running perfectly latley. Last time at the track I pulled a very imprerssive time and trap speed with my 60 foot. I'm happy

And I hope you can pull atleast 6 car's on me

Not bad, not bad at all! So what's the hold up on N20? You + 100-shot NX/NOS, would have smoked his azz.

You of all people I think would be a SC or N20 guy.

I've never really cared for N20 I hait the idea of running out of the stuff and having to keep refilling it.

Sounds about right, may have been a tiptronic though. BTW, I trapped out at 105.8X when I was bone stock (2000 911 Carrera 4 6-speed). But I now have I/H/E + weight reduction.

Hey Sprint wanna race me?
