He was nuts, too. I was tuning left under an overpass and hit it for the onramp, the Porsche behind me figured out what was up and started reeling me in. I could see him gaining in my rearview mirror. No surprise there. By the time I finished with the onramp it was time to shut down, but the 911 kept coming and tried to pass me on the right - yes, I was still in the far right lane, and the shoulder was quickly being squeezed out by a cement wall. So I had to get busy and move over to the middle lane to allow him some room. Jeezus.

Messed up driver, but at least the car was beautiful - black, 18" wheels, aerokit...

Typo on my part, it was a 996. So that is... 98 and later, I believe.

I played with a green 99' 996.
We started from 60mph...he passed me at 130mph and by 145mph he was 2 car length ahead.

In the US 993 goes from '95 to '98. 996 is any Porsche '99 and higher.
