Default Porsche owner gets humbled

had to stop by washington mutual today to get some money out...so im comin back home and im at a redlight on hwy6 and dulles ave. i see a black porsche getting closer then he pulls next to me. i think nothing of it and didnt think he was gonna race...light turns green he takes off fast..i just ease on the throttle so i wont spin then go WOT...im now next to him then pull a good 3 cars on him then shutdown by like 100 or so...he pulls behind me then next to me...he waves, i give him a thumbsup...you shoulda seen the look on his face...his expression was like "WTF? I got beat by a CAMARO??"

hmm...it might of been a boxster...i really couldnt tell cuz i really never got behind him...it was black and looked like it had a diff shape to the body than a boxster...

1st race in a LONG time

if it was 3 cars by 100 id guess it was a boxster, a 911 would have put up more of a fight than that even with a poor driver. nice kill, im still waiting to embarrass a boxster.

I've walked a few boxsters. Those guys seem to think their car is fast just because it says Porsche on it. Nice kill.

I don't think I've ever seen a guy driving a Boxster.

Way to be a good parent.

I remember some *** clown posting here about a few races with his kids in the car.

Aww, thanks...
Well, lets see here, a Carrera, it would have been a drivers race... The car has 320HP, and less torque, but it is lighter and more aerodynamic... weighs around 3000 pounds... if it was a boxster, you would have no problem killing him, as the car is a 15 second car stock, and the Boxster S is a mid 14 second car, stock... The Carrera is in the 13's, so like I said, would be a drivers race... nice kill though

The Boxsters are slow, a stock F-Body should beat one. The 911 Carrera's are pretty quick but a slightly modded F-body could beat one. The 911 Turbo's are godly and will take quite a few mods to beat one. Most Porsche owners can't drive that well so you never know.

Thanks As I have said before... I am a Porsche fanatic... there is just somthing about German cars, and Porsche is just my favorite... but, I also heart the sound and speed of nice american V8.

And, I think Unit has got it with the GT2's... at 180+ thousand bucks a pop, I doubt there are that many floating around... Plus, the turbo model is more popular to those that aren't true porschefiles, along with being much cheaper(65+ thousand cheaper), so there are more of them around... Plus, the GT2's have no traction control, or any other aids like that(unlike the turbo, which is why true porschefiles dont like the turbo that much) so it requires a lot more skill to drive and not kill yourself. If I had a GT2, I would be pretty wary of racing on the streets, and I wouldnt drive it as a daily driver, so yeah, not too many to be seen out on the roads.
