So, when I go to make a right turn on to the street, the Porsche decides to get frisky. I actually decide to keep it cool, because I don't know if he's just a fast-driving-******** (we've got a lot in OC) or if he really wants to play. Plus, I want to see exactly what I'm up against.
He gets ahead of me and I see it's a Carrerra and I'm thinking "whatever".
Then, he decides to get silly and winds his car up. I'm thinking... okay, let's rock and roll. So, I step on it. We're going at about the same speed (even though he had the jump), with me slowly creeping, until I decide to flick off the silly traction control. Then the car lit up like a roman candle, downshifted (which is odd, because switching the TC normally doesn't affect the shifts) and I blasted past him. I had 2 cars in a blink (actually caught me off guard to tell you the truth).
Once he catches up at the light, he turns right and yells, "Why don't you buy a REAL CAR dick!?"
Now, I'm thinking... "bolt-on F-body takes stock Porsche Carrerra on impromptu street with bend" constitutes "real car".
At least that's what I think...

i own a porsche (a 1986 944 turbo)... and when i lose, i lose graciously. heh... i give the guy a thumbs up and a "thank you" because quite frankly, he spent his time, gas, and risked getting a number of tickets to have a go at it. not all porsche owners are tools.

Great kill!
Dam#, that just sucks about his attitude
The last time I raced a non-turbo Porsche was back in '01, shortly after I purchased my Firehawk and all I had done was a lid/filter and Loudmouth exhaust.
The '01 Porsche Carrera and I were sitting at a red light with my ex behind me in her '01 WS6. When the light went green I eased out slowly unsure of his intentions . . . at about 15 ft he punched it and I followed suit. If memory serves, I shut down at about ~90mph a few cars ahead of him (the ex's estimate, trailing behind us, I believe was ~5 cars).
When we stopped at the next red light he asked if I had a Turbocharger or what sized motor I was running. When I told him it was stock with exhaust he went BALLISTIC!!
Started bangin' his steering wheel screamin' "I knew I shouldn't have bought this piece of ****! F'ing slow piece of ****! I should've bought one of those cars or a Vette! . . . " He kept going on like this for another 10 or 20 seconds . . . beatin' the he!! out of this beautiful brand new Porsche while I sat there in shock!
My ex was right behind us watching, and listening on the ear-piece, also shocked. I was so dumbfounded that the only thing I could say was his car wasn't a piece of **** . . . that it was a beautifully engineered car and it only had 6 cylinders . . . that I happened to particularly like Porsche's (this was a lie but I just wanted to try and calm the guy down ).
He was SERIOUSLY upset and said he was gonna go to the dealer later that afternoon and trade it in . . . told me nice race and great car and we went our separate ways when the light turned green . . . weirdest thing that's ever happened to me in a street race in 4 1/2 years

Came up on another Porsche today in OC. Late model Turbo. Guess what color? Yep, silver like the other 99% I see everyday. Would have gone for it except the we were in a speed trap area at the entrance to a toll road. I cant wait until the points are off my record!

There are 2 or 3 boxster (or whatever they are called) rolling around the Air Force base here, and the guys who drive them look so snooty. I met one guy at a bar a ways back who had a Vette and traded it in on a new Porsche. He seemed like a really cool guy. He even bought me a couple of beers! I think its hit or miss with them. Now ricer **** **** me off, thinking they are all so awesome. Most of them wear there hats sideways like its a pre-requisite to drive rice!........LOL

Sounds like some guy tried to avoid a midlife meltdown by buying a "fast car" and was finally pushed over the edge when you layed it on him....haha, although I would have felt bad for him too. Shoot, if it were me putting the whoopin on him, I would have just given him a ride in my car to calm him down.

I really don't think ALL Porsche owners are dicks, but man... down here in OC, there are A TON of them around, as well as BMW owners who think they've just bought a Ferrari. I don't get it. If you're "too good" and have a "real car", why come after "a dated inefficiant piece of American sh*t"?
He's just lucky I was really grandma'n it around, plus I don't have my springs and shocks yet. After I get the suspension buttoned-up, maybe I'll turn "dick" and go Porsche hunting. Maybe...

I would have pointed at him and laughed, I would have said: yea! In your face! American Muscle Baby! I think the guy's probably new money white trash or something, and also people like that have self-esteem issues, The porsche that guy has is not even all that, people with real money would laugh at him because of his attitude.
