T/C vs 2001 Porsche 911 turbo?
so the all the differences between the 911 Turbo and the carrera are a turbo and a turbo emblem? But visually everythings the same between the two? It had drilled slotted rotors and a lip kit along with the emblem. But you could definately be right. It looked like he was trying and I know that the T/C cant keep up with a 911 turbo ever. especially with the RWD vs FWD factor.

Hope that helps. It is alot easier to distinguish betweem a NA model and turbo model then it is to distinguish between a turbo model and a GT2.

I actually get up to 14 through 2nd and most of third gear, 4th and 5th gear where my car craps boost all over the road.
That is a very poor showing for that car in that test, edmunds has always been on the poor driving numbers side. It would be like a TC trapping 100 with them, get the picture? besides that is still about 10 mph better then TC through the traps.
The biggest thing that tells you if it is a turbo is if it has intakes on the side behind the drivers door. I do not know how to post pictures but here is a link.

I love to see those things squat when they get on it. Yeah usually see a puff of smoke come out. A friend of mine has an 883WHP 993, he runs mid to low 9's at bradenton when he decides to bring it out. Same guy owns a 6 sec miata too.
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/war-stories-54/09-t-c-vs-honda-fit-177064/ this is the fit he beat the same way.

It was this one!!! in red with a turbo log on the back and no spoiler. I guess it had the retractable spoiler. I am 100% certain it was someone in a carrera with a turbo logo.
more like this one.---> http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true
lol Yeah
bingo you got it
Congrats Allen you win!!!

It said turbo on the back, and he did rev the motor up. Everyone knows what that sounds like. I know a 911 turbo would spank the crap outta me, wasnt denying that in this thread. But I only spoke what I saw. He definately could have been short shifting it, that is most likely what happened, or he was just not over doing it in light traffic. And yea, agreed.... War Stories should be changed to Stories people call BS. lol. I think Im gonna try an experiment here. lets see if any of you can figure out what it is. :P
P.S. - Is there another porsche out there that is similar to a 911 turbo, with the words "turbo" and only turbo written across the back? I might have mistaken my porsches?

i hung right in there with a C6 Zo6 in my ss/sc w/ just a cai
40 -130 i was at his back bumper, pulled into a gas station and he said i was gonna really put the hammer down but that SC just sounded so damn cool, then he told me that i have a cool little car and to take care of it and we went our seperate ways god that was such a nice car
(i knew the entire time that he wasnt racing me just so there no confusion)

okay a 2001 911 turbo goes 0-60 in 4.2 secs new. so this is now an 8-9 year old car and who knows how well its been taken care of. also dont tuned tc's run mid 4's 0-60? so with the tc having one less person and a better driver i think it could be done. but if he was stock that is most likely bull ****

The Fit race never happened dude, really? I would make up the race about a real car and the turbo stock Fit was a legit story to you? I was looking to see if anyone was going to make an arguement for the fit since it was an assclown story. The Fit doesnt come turbo stock.
Thats assuming it was abused. it didnt look abused at all. And I am really thinking that yellow one I found on cars.com that i posted earlier is a dead ringer for what I raced, but it was red and different wheels with a turbo emblem. Also it had the skirts that the 911 turbo has, but not 911 turbo's front bumper.
It's right down the road

Look, a TC is quick for what it is and a great shot at the SRT4's, but it isn't in the same catagory stock or tuned as a Viper, Turbo Porsche, Z06, Ferrari, ect....

BTW, Arby's sounds good right now! I saw they are giving away free roast beefs tomorrow. Not sure if it is just a local DFW thing or nation wide, but since there has been alot of talk about it you might want to check it out. I could use one with arby's sauce and curly fries!
