Nice man, My friend took his dads 6 spd Carrera one day a few months ago. When we ran I was on bald tires so traction was an issue for me but I still took him by a car up to the top of his 3rd, between 70-90m then he missed 4th so I shut down.

I bet he'd rip you a new ******* on any road course. When you get something like a Porsche, its not only for straight-line speed.
Still, nice kill

Those cars weighs a little than 3k lbs and put out 320hp. 0-60 is under 5 seconds and the 1/4 is in the low 13's. They are really quick off the line especially the 4 wheel drive. I raced a 996 4S before(97-04) with a nearly bone stock automatic LT1 Vette I had...he pulled me from the stoplight, but from a 50+ highway blast....I had a car or 2 on him...oh and they were about $90k new.

Good kill man!!! If you're ever worried about the handling, $1500 spent with Strano will put your car in better competition with the exotics in the turns. Not usually an issue with exotic owners looking to beat up on a domestic anyway though!

He spent 80K because the seats cost more than your car, not because it was faster. That is just what Porsche owners do. I don't fault them for it. Good kill though, especially with a couple fatass tagalongs.
