We had a few hours of top down weather in chicago yesterday, so I'm out cruising and find myself at a light ready to turn onto Lakeshore drive next to a silver boxter with his top down. I'm actually behind a car (a new celica that quickly learned his lesson). So we take the left hander that enters onto Lakeshore (4 lane highway) and it's just us 3. The celica is quickly history and I'm a car length behind the boxter on the outside of a right hander. I pass him as it straightens out and leave him. There's a left hander soon and I'm still leaving him and then floor it on the straight up to about 110. By the time I shut it down he was 10 car lengths behind me.

He was killing it too, he was drifting out of his lane in the first corner!

Just plain old fun! What a rush to see a porsche in your rear view. The best part is, I passed him at redline in 3rd, so he got to hear what the stook is all about.

Disclaimer: There was no one else on the road with us for a half mile, we had plenty of room and I hit the brakes when I saw traffic coming.

 

Not that *I* would ever endorse or participate in high speed activity on Lake Shore Drive...but

...nice job.

(I love seeing them in the rear view, too...makes me do this --->

 

Yeah...LSD is a speed trap..especially on the weekends.
Nice kill though... Stay clear of that Wacker!

 

NICE kill . 110 on LSD must feel like you're flying. Watch out for the turn by *DRAKE*, it's dangerously tempting. My uncle totaled his 99 BMW 328 there, right in to the wall. I'm scare of that turn.

And it don't stop. Boxsters will be my primary target.

I had a great experience Saturday with a Z3 on a set of hairpin turns on the section of Falls Road that we ran at our Maryland meet last weekend. I came into the set of turns (about six in rapid succession) with the road clear, but by the time I got through the third, I was bearing down fast on the bimmer. He saw me in his rear view mirror (I really caught him by surprise by how fast I came up on him through the turns) and he tried to shake me through the last three. Are you kidding? He might as well have been driving a Cadillac. I had to brake several times to keep from over-running him. A road like this is where the S2000 shines!
