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...

You certainly aren't "representing" me by racing in and out of traffic like a douche...

You're a loser for giving in.

Edit: because of people like you, we get a bad rep and innocent people get killed.

Guys, I think a simple: "Please dont post about street racing" would suffice and then close the thread. I doubt negative comments like the ones we see here are going to change the persons drving habits, but rather discourage him from being a part of our community altogether. Sure you can make the argument that we dont want those types of drivers in our community anywho, but maybe showing the guy how awesome track racing/autoX can be would be a more effective way to change the habit.

Voice of reason, out!

Forza Rocks!

Track FTW!

I AutoX'ed my 3000GT once, and it was a ****ing rush. My whole body was shaking before and after each run, much more so than any spirited highway driving. I gotta take the Z once its broken in.
