Default Baffled Boxter S

After working in the yard all day I took a break to go to the hardware store in my Turbo S2k. I probably looked pretty grundgy but was not out to impress anyone. A guy who was way overdressed for a Saturday pulls up to me in his obviously new Boxter S. I'm guessing he was a wanna-be broker or investment banker going through some sort of mid-life crisis. He looks over at me and says "I heard those things aren't that fast" with a smug look on his face. I see no traffic ahead. I reply "It does okay". He say's "wanna run 'em" with a smile. I'm thinking this guy should spend less time looking into his mirror and more time learning about cars. I said "Sure, why not", go on green. Light changes and he gets a car length on me, I didn't want to waste my clutch on this jerk. By the end of Second I was already even and gaining fast, I glanced over as I passed by him, he looked confused and pissed off at the same time. Ever see a person on the sidewalk trip and then look down at their shoe as if it caused them to trip. That's the look he had on his face. After gaining 2 car lenghts I shut it down so I could make my turn. I hope he can still enjoy his new German sports car now that it's been smoked by a Honda. Well, a turbocharged S2k Honda.

Seems fair to me. He didn't lie about anything. The dumbass in the Boxster made some assumptions he shouldn't have.

Nice kill! How's the lag on that SpeedCraft setup? And how much boost are you running?
