Wow, there's people in here that know about VB?
If you want a good ride, check out Salem Rd. Two-lane, ditches/trees on each side. That'll put you on your seat!
Let's get up some time and tear it up

I just got to giggle at this one. I got an opportunity to take a ride in a brand new Porsche Turbo Carrera this weekend. I hate to say this, but malachi, this guy was playing with you. It's so damn fast your on the rev limiter and shifting through the first three gears just as fast as you can move your arm. This one wasn't even broken in yet. At 420hp we'll never even get out of the gate with this one.
It'll hit 100 in less than 8 seconds. O-62 in under 4 second and I think around 3.5 would be a closer estimate!
At $129K it's worth it too. One of the most beautiful automobiles I've ever seen. Everything you could possibally imagine. I spoke to the Turbo mechanic for at least an hour. I must say I was impressed. Service intervals are almost nil! No valve adjustments, no real service unless something goes wrong. Fit and finish almost perfect!
I think he was being awful nice to you, dude, cause the S2000 compaired to this monster,is absolutely outclassed. I don't even think the S2000 with a supercharger mod would come close!

Oh, believe me. I'm FULLY aware that if he wanted to he would have been able to pull away from me at any minute and there would be next to nothing I could have done about it.
And, of course, as much as I love my S2K, if I could afford a new 2001 Twin Turbo I'm afraid I wouldn't be driving the Honda.
I don't think he was toying with me, I think he was just driving his car and I was along for the ride for a bit.
