Maybe both owners were just The Suck. Although on a straightaway, at least, I fully expected to lose to the alleged mid-range power of the Porsche. It was just the opposite. My car has some mods, but a catback, intakes and HFC's should not = 911.
Anyway, I just had to smile that a $35K car could accomplish this. Not that I'm advocating street racing. I would never advocate that. |
I raced a 997 4S once and was pulling on it in a car similar in performance to your Z.
Then I found out she (yes she :P) had it in 5th gear, lol. They are geared so closely that many drivers will just throw it back into 5th from a highway punch and pull away from most cars. By the time they figured it wasn't working, they decided just to wind it out anyhow. I've done that before.
