Carerra 4 S vs. 81 FB
Got into a little 1/4 mile thing with a Porche Carerra 4 S last night on the way home from work. Got me by 3-4 cars. I was impressed by my car, keeping up with a newer Porche. I'd guess a 00-02 Carerra.
Anyways, the mods:
Mild SP, RB SP Holley setup, dying holley red pump, RB Sp exhaust.

It took a Datsun 1600 (P510) for you guys with 240rwkw (320rwhp) to slightly outrun a Porshce GT3 in a straight line.
Now that doesn't translate exactly, but...
The Datto would weigh in similar to the 7, and the GT3 is faster than a Carrera 4 so knock a few Kw's off to take that into account.
No chance! The porsche probably wasn't trying too hard.

love the braaaap
To a porsche, he'd loose by like 7-9 carlengths easily. I love the 7, but unless you have some major power under the hood, its not likely you would even come close to a newer porsche. If it was an older late 60's to early 70's 911, then sure, I might believe it. But this seems like totaly BS to me.
A 2002 Carrera 4 non turbo can go 0-60mph in under 5 seconds according to Car and Driver. a 911 turbo goes 0-60 in under 4 sec. A stock FB with 12A will go 0-60 in 10 seconds or slower (depending on mileage). A slightly modded FB with 12A (exhaust and some other cheap mods) will do 0-60 in, at fastest, 8 seconds. Streetported 12A with all bolt-ons will do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds if you can find the grip. Point is, the only way you would catch a newer Porsche 911 is to have a P-Port engine or a turbocharged engine making somewhere in the region of 250 hp.

4-5 car lenghts is more like a tenth or two at the top end, unless they where both going 20mph.
Just my .02

Obviously, the original poster has realized that the 1st Gen
crowd is not the 13 year old crowd.
