4th @ 60mph? I'm in 3rd in the 70s... oops.

 

i say you google 993 and see if its the body you saw...

and i rarely see people badge turbo on a non turbo car. you can tell from the body style.

 

at 60 i wouldve DEFF ragged it hard in 3rd. why does it seem like a lot of us run into porsches?! ive always had runnins with boxters and slk350s lol never lost to either tho

 

ragged?

 

you see, there is a reason behind why porsche's cost so damn much....

If I had a 911:

1. I wouldnt race it bc t fix a broken part would probably cost 1/4 of the cars value, but then again, if one could afford a car, this wouldnt be a problem.

2. I would be too old, prob. w/ gray hair already, so racing would def. not be on the agenda, nor would I think sex, but then again we're men, so this two things always work their way into the agenda some how or another LOL.

3. It's funny when these higher end cars try to race you. I dont usually try to race anyone, unless they provoke it or are worthy of racing.


civics are a no no, unless its boosted, then it's fair game.

 

[QUOTE]1. I wouldnt race

 

He said it looked newer..

996 turbo = 0-60 3.9s, top speed 197

997 turbo = 0-60 3.5s, top speed 194

And if it WAS an older one..

993 turbo = 0-60 3.9s, top speed 180, 1/4 = 12.5 @ 112

so I hate to say it but I think he was just in 6th (or 5th) whatever gearing they have, and just sucked at maintaining a constant speed

 

I've taken an SLK350 in the S, my mother believe it or not (yes, she can drive, she's actually circuit trained, and rides a ducati monster as well, aged 57!!), it was close though, basically, she would begine to walk me, until about 7500rpm and I would get alongside again. Each time I hit 7500-9000 I got a tiny touch further ahead.

I've beaten boxster Ses and been beaten by them (a milisecond jump and you won't catch them fully), seems to be a driver's race, that one.

Still since my last street encounter, I've added a K&N replacement filter, a spoon air scoop, a J's racing 60RS single and TP, lightweight JDM BBS alloys, and I don't think there's a stock Boxter S that will take me any more. I figure with header (currently on the lookout for a J's header) as well, I'll be pushing an extra 15-20rwhp from stock, and a LOT more oomph in the midrange, which is what makes the diff.

 

I would have loved you when I had my 04 NA civic

But back on topic, I would say the porsche was just having some fun, likely staying in 6th or something like that.
