Great kill, OP. What's done to your Z? On a side note, I've run two of those Turbo Porsches and they're a REALLY good run on the highway for my car. I expected them to pull a bit up top but they didn't. Pretty much a drivers race. Time to step up my game a bit.

If you pulled on him like that from the wrong gear I'm assuming you've got some decent engine work done to go along with any bolt-ons because there's no way a bolt-on Z06 is pulling on a Turbo Porsche from the wrong gear unless the Porsche driver doesn't know what the hell he's doing. I run pretty even with a stockish 02-04 Z06 on the highway and if anything the Turbo is pulling on me up top; best case I hang with them.

My brother in law has a TechArt Porsche. Over 700 HP and it drives like a pussycat until you mash the loud pedal. Then all hell breaks loose. He also has a Ruf that has over 600 HP. Sick *** Porsches and he drives them the way they are meant to be driven, on the autobahn flat out. I have been in the car at over 220 MPH. Both are capable of that speed the TechArt is a little faster top end. It tops out at 236 according to the literature he has, I'd believe it.

I was just responding to the statement that Porsches could be fast. I'm sure there are plenty of Vette's that would destroy those two cars. Hell Roger's car could be one of them. I don't know and really don't care.

I think a correction needs to be made. "Turbo Porsches can be fast" is incorrect. "Turbo Porsches ARE fast" is more appropriate. I don't think there's anyone in the world who could argue that a stock 11 sec car is not fast. Again, good kill.

That argument could be said about anything.. i could make a thread saying how a stock rx-8 completely destroyed a honda civic, but then everyone can jump in and say, well there are these guys that i know whose brothers honda is in a car club where there is a really fast one and im just saying because i know that honda's can be fast
and im just saying because i know that honda's can be fast

Actually I wasn't being sarcastic, maybe Rogers car can do 236 but I doubt it.
