Porsche??
I raced a newish porsche carrera from a 45 roll and didnt get beat as bad as i thought, i just wanted to here him get on it, he was bearly pulling away from me up until about 120. Maybe he was messing with me or he was a crappy driver? any thoughts?

From all the literature I've read (haven't had the pleasure yet) the handling makes the difference - we should be able to beat a carrera on a "curved course" but on straight runs they may get us.. Personally, I doubt he was messing with you, Porshce drivers tend to not be subtle.

You're dealin' in nothin' but variables n' maybes Sil. Not the kind'a situation that gives you any useful 'r reliable information.
Be well. Java

I assume you mean a 911 Carrera and then was it a C2, C2S, C4, or C4S? That will make a difference. If it was a Carrera GT, he was DEFINITELY just playing with you.
P.S. How can you be a crappy driver from a 45 miles per hour roll? You put your foot down and assuming it's not an automatic, maybe shift a couple times. It's not that hard.

Yeah, if it was a base 911, nonturbo, targa then those have a between 315 and 345hp depending on the year and they weigh about 3400lbs so we won't get beat too badly but anything else, even a Boxster S should be able to take a stock S2K. The only newer porsche car that we can officially take would be the base Boxster or the base Cayman.

You would be suprised trust me. I raced a evo the other day that was being driven buy a young spoiled brat sill in high school from a 30 mile an hour roll and I beat him. I had no right to win that but the kid just could'nt drive. A list of all the thing you can do wrong and I'm sure he did. - Shift too early - Shift to late and bounce off the rev limiter - Grind a gear - Miss a gear - Hit the brake instead of the clutch.
