got me a kill It was a porsche carrera s. We ran them like 5 time from a dig and roll. He said 3 honks and go I said ok that's how I play. On the very first run he is singnaling 1,2,3. I though he was giving me the hit telling me to go. I realized what he was doing at the last second. I was in 3 gear going like from a 30 roll. I just punched went very slow he got 2 cars ahead before I started to pull him (fast), after I put a car on him we let off. The next race I was ready and done right 3 honks and we are off. I start just pulling hard on him, put like 3/4 cars on him fast. Then he said from a dig I said ok. We stop on feeder, 3 honks and go. He pulls out 2 cars untill I am able to get grip, as soon I get grip I pull him in and pass him for the win. On that run my car was just at idel when we took off, it stalled then started to go. Agin from a dig this time at a light. This time I am reveing the engin to 2.5k so it dont stall. Light turns green. I just spin 1,2 and 1/2 of 3, by that time hes like 2/3 buses ahead. I am not going to catch him but I did. Last run from a dig agin because from a roll he gets smoked. We are at a light, this time I am I second gear still spined not as bad as the last run. Results same as the first race from a dig. I need to learn to go from a dig, and tires. I stop and talk to the guy he was cool. Checked out his car, he checked mine out. I didn't ask what year it was. it look like 05/07 and up.

To be honest, there's also no reason that a newer Carrera S should get beat by the OP. They are low-mid 12s cars. But good kill nonetheless OP.
wait wait wait... lol... did i just read that you launched from second gear? from a dig? lol dude... come on... seriously? jesus h that is funny...................... please go buy a automatic.. lol... but anyway nice kill man!! and tell your clutch your sorry launching from 2nd...
thats a pretty impressive list of totaled cars... maybe you did have problems with your other cars?
just razzing ya man
Oh I now have a cam also, let me fix that. I will just keep blaming the tires, not my driving. I didn't have that problem with my other cars. Lol

Yes second gear launch, It was the first and last time. I was just trying new things. I do need pratice going from a dig. My tires also suck ***, I can break them lose at 45mph. They are cooper zeon tires. I am going to get better tires and go to the track. Learn how to launch from a dig, see what works best. He didn't have any emblems on the back, I was hopeing it was 911 turbo, but he said its a carrera s.

Star Spec's for street and street strip. I'm getting 1.9 60' times and am bogging bad with my stock stall. 3400 stall going in next week. No matter how hard I tried, I couldnt get the tires to spin at the track: the stall should, conservatively, get me 1.7's or even 1.6's. Cheap, too!

The interior was nice. when I was looking at the inside. The car had 55566 miles on the odameter. The only thing gay was it was a 5 speed stick. The mph was in kph I though the would change the us cars.

The shifter said 5 gears yes six with reverse. I am100% the shift **** showed 5 gears, it look stock. The speedo was in kilometers. I don't know if you can change it to miles. I was shocked it said 5 gears on the shifter. Are they all 6 speed and just had after mareket shifter.
