The Z vs The Porsche
Hey All,
So I was jumping on the Mass Pike today ( for those of you who dont live in Boston, MA, this is the main highway) and I drove right up next to a fairly new Porsche Carrera 4. The guy looked at me and smirked and floored it..........being a new Z owner and wanting to "represent" I followed in pursuit. I typically am not the kind of driver to do this, but after hitting high speeds, I was VERY surprised to see that I kept up with this Porsche very easily. In really tight turns he had a little more traction i feel like, his back tires were HUGE....so he might have had me there..........SOOOOO my question is, has anyone else experienced going against a Porsche, particularly the Carrera 4 or any other models??? I happen to think the Z did very well, and I know this was highway driving as opposed to the track, but im interested to see if anyone else has stories about Z's vs Porsches.................

I was just our on 95 and the roads were quite... but they don't want threads about illegal street racing on this forum... So I would edit the story a little bit and just ask the question if anybody ever tested their car against a Porsche on the track. Otherwise this thread will get locked...

For all you Boston boys that want to test your car handing (legally) I suggest you sign up for this event. There is another on May 15th if that day doesn't work out.

Wow, relax people
I would like to welcome the new member to the forum. I am glad we don't have endless unsubstantiated street race stories that don't prove anything because there are way to many variables. I am not surprised you were able to hang with a Carrera 4 but there are way to many factors on the street to compare the two cars. For this reason I am glad not to hear these types of stories.
I was also not aware we had so many perfect people in this forum. Relax people we only drive a Nissan that starts at the same price as a nicely equipped honda accord. I have tracked, AutoX, Drag Raced all of my vehicles but nothing beats the thrill of a 10 car midnight Malibu Canyon Run for those of us that do things once or twice in our life that is not perfect. |

You're a loser for giving in.
Edit: because of people like you, we get a bad rep and innocent people get killed. Last edited by DjSquall; 04-23-2010 at 11:50 AM. |
