Smacked around by a Porsche 911 Turbo

[THT]

Coming out of the parking lot today, I was following a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo...the exhaust note, even when crusing, was musical. I know the owner of the car and as we get out of the lot and onto Hwy 6, he gets on the gas a little to pass a minivan. Me not wanting to get stuck behind the soccer mom also swings out and passes, keeping the 911 close. I change lanes so I'm now in the left lane, ahead of the minivan but a car length behind the Porsche in the right lane.

Red light.

"Greg, gorgeous car! You ever let her run?"

"Thanks...and yeah."

Green light.

He takes off HARD and I was left at the line like this:

:eek2:

I didn't even try to catch up...he was gone so fucking fast, it wasn't even funny. All I could hear was that beautiful sound of screeching rubber and the melodic exhaust of a flat six in the high rpms.

ya, those car make me release my glorious......u know.

i love the way those car look on the highway when your behind them....the guy punches it and it sits to the ground and almost like hugs it the faster you go. ah, the technological advancement in aerodinamics.

[Mr Grey]

Nice story...humility at it's best. :D

[Fishstick]

same say that the porsche is one of the best road cars out there, acceleration, cornerning and braking....

[Just_A_Wrx]

Yeah, and you def. pay the price for it.

[Fishstick]

ohh yeah... for the price of that car, you can get a house....

oh your lucky, i leanred manual on a maluch in poland :rotz:

[walec05]

ya, i learned manual on a 05 altima 3.5se. i guess a maluch would be a little trickier to learn on, since you have a whole gagillian horse power and the roads in poland arent the greatest.

I actually get to drive a new, race-ready GT3 over Labor Day. I'm going to SLC to watch my dad's boss race it and afterward, provided he doesn't break it, I get to play with it for a bit.

At least he's keeping it within the same brand...

[walec05]

he said he learned on one of the porches.

[Kowalski]

we had 3 manual porsches that day... they all look exactly alike but because of subtle differences, i generally remembered what they were...
