It looked exactly the same as the one in the pics, except it had a small rear wing.

I left work early today to play some beach volleyball with some friends. I'm in the FD, and had to go home first. I see this nice looking Porsche ahead of me. He stops for a stoplight, and I get in behind him. No room to race here. I follow him to an area where we might get a race, and I cruise past him. We check out each others cars. He looks to be in his early 50's. I get in front of him in traffic approaching an intersection, and the light changes. He stops. SHIT!! I wait for him at the next light. He cruises by and rolls down his window. I din't hear all of what he said, but there was something about 150 mph..... blah blah blah. I said "how about a race". He waves his hand to motion that there is not room yet. He is right. Traffic clears for a moment, and we both hit it for a short burst from about 40 mph. I pull on him about 1/2 a car length and have to slow for traffic. He passes me on the left, and I pull in behind him at the next light. There is no one in front of him, and I am anticipating that he will go hard when the light changes. He goes quickly, and then waits for me to pull along side:) I like this guy. We are at about 40 mph. I give him a nod, and he goes an instant before I do. I pull on him about 1/2 car length by the end of 2nd, and another 1/2 car length before we have to shut down at around 80 mph. He pulls along side, and asks "does that thing have a turbo?" I reply "yes, they come that way from the factory. Nice car, have a nice night". I was turning right, and he was turning left. A friendly wave, and we went our separate ways.

It isn't very often that the guys in the expensive Porsches will race, so I have to give him a lot of credit. I liked this guy, and I honestly felt bad for him because part of the "blah blah blah" was " I just got the car yesterday" :)

All right :D. It was a tie, just like the other one :). The guy was at my passenger door the entire time. Neither of us could gain an inch!!

I'm pretty proud that my lightly modded FD can run even with a really expensive Porsche Turbo. Sorry if I was being an "asshat". Just building the suspense ;)

It still amazes me that a "mild" FD can keep up with a new Turbo Porsche.

Well done sir!

Here are a couple guys I know. The 996tt is a stage 4 with a little over 600 engine HP. Density altitude the day of the run was about 4500 ft and we had a serious head wind. The other car is a V12 tt RENNtech Mercedes.

Sea level corrected time for the Porsche would have been 11.6 @122, the head wind hurt, but there's not a calculator for that.
