Default Laid claim to my first Porche last night

I was on the way to take my girl home last night when I saw a silver carrera had to be 2000 or newer .I saw the guy racing around with a little Itchurpussy Eclipse gst so I caught them at the light.haha I looked over at the guy in the Porche with his windows down and politely asked,"Whats the re-sale value on that ?" haha his eyed turned red the light turned green and before I knew it I had three lenghts(corrected haha tired) on him and he was fadeing in my mirror.Not sure how fast a Porche Carrera is but I felt pretty good being that he probably spent at least 5-8times what I did

nice kill, but a porche is a real nice car reguardless of the price.

Fact is, most people settle on lesser cars because they can't afford anything else.

i'm with ya but i've come to the conclusion that I wanna go fast and look good not just look good.My car is plenty nice enough for me and I paid a fraction of what any porche driver paid.haha and last night i'm thinkin i was happier with my car then he was with his.

Nice Kill. I believe the non turbo'd carrera's are mid 13s generally....somebody more familiar with porsche's can chime in...and I would be pretty happy too. I love putting the 'high dollar' guys in the place when it comes to drag racing.

A 6spd 996 (98-05?) is a low 13s car... basically right with/slightly behind an LS1 C5. But I can guarantee you that you beating him in your Camaro did not make him feel bad about owning a Porsche. It's still a Porsche.

I would feel bad..........Then again, I dont' buy cars for the name and flaunt them around thinking I am tuff shiat, like most porsche/vette owners around here.


DISCLAIMER - that was not a knock on all vette owners. Honestly, I just run into alot of snotty vette owners.

Well, a 911 and fbody are on totally different levels. If you are looking for straight line speed, you shouldn't get the porsche. The porsche has a much more luxurious interior, handles a ton better, and is an all around good performance vehicle. The LS1 Fbody is much more crude, but a great bang for the buck for straight line speed(hell they aren't horrible on a road course either).

From what I've seen, carreras are mid to low 13 second cars, so definitely a good kill.

he was punking on a ricer so I punked on him, I just expected more of a fight.I"m sure he was still happy having his car but it had to be disapointing plus I talked **** to him right before the race then I handed him his ***.Snobby dude deserved it.
