SS/TC vs Porsche Carrera

Disclaimer: This was real impromptu so sorry no video. A random "stop light war" race. If you still interested read on.

As I headed home from the gym, traffic in the 3 lane road was real slow, like under the speed limit slow. So I went to the far right hand lane since it was open and sped past what looked like an 04 Porche Carrera driven by this old guy putting along in the middle lane with the rest of the slow flow. As soon as I past him he jumped behind me and trailed. Ok no problem.

As we got to the light, I stopped for crossing pedestrians and soon as they cleared I made a right turn. So as I shifted from 1st to 2nd down the street, I looked in the rear view to see the Porsche making the right then he stomps on it, so I'm like, eh what the hell. I stomped in 2nd, the tires spun and the Porsche flew past me leaving me just off his rear bumper but as soon as I caught traction when i shifted to 3rd I started to steady pull on him till I got to his passenger door then we shut it down cause we started to run out of open road.

I know he was expecting to leave this rental car in the rear view but that didn't quite happen too bad this wasn't on the highway

I using nt05s and they ain't no slouch. Way gripper than my hankooks evov12 but that zfr even with boost ramp roasts pretty good. Can't afford to be rolling around on slicks lol.

Gonna be some cast iron ones when I go for the E tune. Im still running my 91 map up here. Was suppose to retune but murphy got a hold of my laptop and when he realized the hard drive survived he came back around to finish that off, so I had a couple of setbacks. I should be ready to log this weekend.

I would definitely agree with you if his car wasnt screaming. Sounded good and it moved out pretty good. I went online and it looked like an 04 carrera. Not sure if it was AWD or not. Was a cabriolet, but assuming it was the the regular engine, they put out 320 hp with 274 tq.
