Default Raced a Poreche Turbo 2004!!!

it was late night when i saw a white Porsche Turbo, put the it on 3rd came next to him looked at him and he looked at me(not but )we raced twice, the first time i finished the 4th gear next to him . he could not believe it (to tell you the truth i could not believe it) . raced agian , this time i was half a car ahead . the guy told me that the car was an Automatic that is why the performace was close and that a manual shift would take me easily. dunno about that but with my pp ls6 style heads installed and TNT F2 kit moser rear end 3.73 i think i would Terrorize the manula TUrbo too what do u think guys??

Good kill!!!! I was trying to get a turbo Carrera to race me the other night on the interestate & he seemed interested until I stuck my foot in it to catch up to him. Then it was like a cop pulled in behind him....65, looking straight ahead, no lane changes.....chicken!

80k will get you a stock porsche carrera. The last time I was in Walter's Porsche about a year ago, the turbo 996 carrera had a window sticker of 120-130k and a six month wait.

Auto in a turbo? I thought that all 911 Turbo's came with 6 speeds but I guess I just learned something new. Good kill

Same here. I thought you can only get it with a M6.

I wish I was lucky enough to catch a '05 Porsche turbo...it would be a much better race than the one I had with the '02 Carrera.

I'd take a new 911 Turbo over any American car no matter what could beat it (other than the Ford Gt.). Assuming I had unlimited funds of course.

Ah, nice kill. 911 Turbo is nothing to sneeze at. One night at the track, a couple years ago, I saw two of them show up for TnT. Both were kicked out after a few runs. They were stock.
