So I'm driving home on a pretty busy little street tonight. Beautiful New (no tags yet) 911 keeps pulling up beside me. I give him the thumbs up for his smokin ride. He looks over, repeatedly but never gives me so much as a smile and wave.
After about 3 miles, I have to turn right, so does he. I get in the right turn lane, he does the same. New road is awfully empty. He's behind a pick up which is directly behind me. The light is red. I stop and turn right, then the truck, then Mr. Porsche. I'm about 100-150 yards ahead by the time he makes the turn and he rockets around the truck. I'm in third gear now keeping it around 3000 rpms (my cam loves 3500 up) He's getting on it moderately aggressively as he gains on me. Right about my rear bumper he opens it up. Very different sound, but freakin awesome.
I punch it and I'm right in the sweet spot of my power band. In no time I've got a car length or two on him. At 115 on my speedo I gotta have 3 (I'm thinking about 95 or 100 in the real world 3.70 gears throw it off) I tap the brakes then get on them firmly and come down to 45. He hits them a little harder and stays behind me until he turns left into a neighborhood that I can't afford.
Lets not kid ourselves, cornering, braking, just about any race in the world, he destroys me. But this was the race he decided to enter into.
I've beaten several boxsters, but never figured I could hang with a big dog like the carerra s. What is the weight on one of those things????
