Default 5.3 s10 vs 911 Carrera GTS

Ran into this sexy *** 911 Carrera GTS at the gas station today and asked the doctor who was driving it if he used to own the same color 911 Carrera S. He told me that he did and that he remember my truck, as we ran before. I didn't ask but assumed he traded in the S for the GTS after being beat so bad by a little ol pickup truck. So we headed out for a second run, this time with the $100,000+ GTS.

Didn't have the GoPro in the truck so was forced to use the camera phone with a dying battery, so forgive the quality.

Good-running truck, I'm guessing those numbers in your sig are a little old?

Well...the two review articles I came across they were only able to pull mid 12s out of the car. I'm sure they can pull a low 12 all day long with great conditions and a damn good driver, but your average driver will not..
