Got whooped by a Porsche

ForPointSex · 05-12-2002, 10:58 PM

Me and my 2 friends were driving down Rt. 1 in Princeton. I noticed some HID lights on a sports car behind me. Looked behind and saw that it was a porsche. While we were approaching a red light, I thought to my self "I guess i'll show this guy how under rated his boxter is". I got to the light, fully stopped. He got to the lane next to me and was rolling about 5MPH. The light turned green, and we were off. 1st gear he pulled about 1/2 car length on me. I shifted from 1st to 2nd and noticed my car bogged down. SH*T, I had my traction control on!!!! We kept on going till about 75MPH, but he kept pulling the whole time, and put about 7 car lengths on me. I asked my friend how come I got beat by a boxter. He said "that wasn't a boxter, that was a carrera" Go figure.

Looked up stats on carrera:
2002 Porsche 911 Carrera, 0-60 in 4.9 sec, quarter mile 13.4 @105

The turbo carrera gets 11.9 sec in the quarter mile.

Now I don't feel that bad.

I got pulled getting on the freeway by a 911 turbo. I was up in Santa Barbara with my bike (0-60 3.1). We rolled on from about 15 and I got dusted. I think it was an '88, and the thing blew smoke on me half the time. Needless to say I was a little embarassed, but at least I was riding alone. FYI you would pull a boxster, and be close to a boxster S.

ihave raced a 2001 carrera imported from europe (talked to the guy before the race) and we took off from the light, i stayed pretty much side by side with him all the way to bout 105 then i let off, was a quick car, the oxter is much slower, u would beable to take him by long shot
