Default Porsche Cayenne Turbo and my 02' CETA

I came up on a guy at a light with paper tags on a turbo Cayenne that was obviously excited about making a run. We took off and that vehicle hauls the mail. I was about even with him off the line and took me until 3rd to pull on by him. By 120 I had him by about 3-4 cars but was a pretty close run.

I ran a buddy that has a SRT-10 truck and this Cayenne was faster than that and was faster than my buddy's 04' Carrera 4 that has a bit of modifications to it.

Very impressive all wheel drive vehicle.

Wow, impressive for an SUV. Nice kill.

EDIT - wow, just read about them. The new ones are rated 500/516 and Porsche.com states 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. That's hauling *** for an SUV, especially with a 5,192 pound curb weight.

That SUV packs 550 HP and has quoted quarter times of 13.1, and 0-60 in 4.3seconds....pretty darn quick.

The Turbo is pretty quick, but it doesn't compare to the SRT-8 Jeep. That SUV is (or was) the fastest stock SUV available. I've seen those run 13 flat at the track lol.

They actually don't offer any of the SRT-8 line in a manual Every other line of SRT comes standard with a stick (dumdumdumdumdum, -6, -10). Its stupid that you can't get a 300, Charger, Challenger, or Cherokee with a stick too.

'09 Challenger will be a stick. Can't get the TT Cayenne with a stick either. Oh well.

Yes, that was established but unfortunately it isn't the Twin Turbo model.

My SUV would impress the **** out of you, as would the Cayenne.

I'm actually pretty surprised you hung w/ him outta the hole and beat him. On the street our disfunctional breed of SUV's aren't much to poke at w/ sticks

As far as it being no match for the JGC, it is. It traps way higher, around 107, but doesn't get out of the hole nearly as hard as the jeep. I've seen them cut 1.79s stock... Thats the best I've mustered out of mine w/ a 3000 stall!

We were a dead heat until midway through 2nd when I started pulling him in pretty well. My car with the tires I have on it will run 12.7-8 as it sits so no real surprise to me that I hung with him.
