Porsche 911 - Highly Overrated?
 
Now don't get me wrong. I've always loved the 911. But twice now in the past month, I've been challenged by 2 different (2010-2011) 911's and both times left their owners completely humiliated. On both twisties and straights. :owned:

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.

More than likely those guys didn't know how to drive. The Z is a fantastic cheap machine but I don't see it owning the 911 the way you described.

Correct but that's the joy of the diver mod!

I eat up vette guys non-zo6 that is but I clearly understand that it's the douche and not the car...

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.

Yes, I used to hate rich people. Now that I am middle-class, middle-class is no-longer "rich", and I hate poor people AND rich people. Reality sucks :roflpuke2:

Apparently to the politicians, there are only two types in this country. There is the people that are on welfare according to the repubs. There are the people that are f - u rich according to the demos. I am going to round up and say the percentage is 20%/10% for the welfare and rich dudes. Where did the rest of the 70% go.....

had to be a base model with a crappy driver. even the CarreraS and 4S are stupid fast... guess it depends on what year too. porsches are amazing vehicles and (thankfully) leaps and bounds from where they were 10 years ago both in vehicle dynamics and especially interior. still to this day, two of my "best car i've ever driven" test drives were of porsches, one a cayman S and the other a 997 GT3. both of these cars are life changers
