Default WS6 vs 2008 Carrera S

Long story short. We went from about 80/85 - ~110/115

I pulled about 1/2 a car on him. I was in 4th cuz of my 410s.
Pretty quick car, and im wondering what they trap stock. I see they run a 12.9 stock, but cant find ne trap speeds. im thinking they proly trap pretty high considering they are so light and have descent power. does this outcome sound right? maybe it was a Carrera 4S?
What should I be trapping with my mods? if i was to run a 1.9 60ft

I kno its not a great story, but we raced, i won. the end.

I would say it probably was a Carrera 4s. 385 hp stock, $95k base sticker price also....http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-carrera-4s/

Good kill. You beat a car that is about 10 times more expensive than yours.

believe me there is so much more to those cars than straight line performance. I can see you saying this if you were driving a C6 but cmon now.

I agree and good kill. But the 911s are hardly turds, especially the turbos.

He would destroy you on a road course and has a 9sec fox body in the garage and said your card is a turd too....

Its not a 911. Its a Carrera 4s. The 911 turbos are beast though!

The Carrera is a 911. What did it say on the back; a very easy way to determine what it was. How do you know the year if you dont even know the model? If it wasnt a 4S remember they are cheaper and faster than a 4S from a roll.
