Default Mustang GT Vs. Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe.

Ok, I met this guy on the onramp to the highway at a red light last night. He started looking at me and as the light turned green we both started going really slow to the left up the onramp, then as we straightened out, both got on it.

Man, I didn’t know you could get the taillights on those things framed in gold trim.

Yeah I'd pretty much avoid any "modern" day Porsche's that are turbo charged - unless you are blown yourself. You're looking at 0-60 in the low 4's, which would explain why you got a good view of the sleek rear end

I read this little thing on the Porsche Forums.

Ok, I met this guy on the onramp to the highway at a red light last night. He started looking at me and as the light turned green we both started going really slow to the left up the onramp, then as we straightened out, both got on it.

But those Fog lights look so impressive when they are right behind you.

Very funny post [sm=smiley36.gif]


....however, this is an example of the stuff that should be in off topic.

Off topic? It is about an 05 GT isn't it?! And for the GSX-R750 getting beat by a Porsche, I'd have to call that rider error (no offense) The fastest Porsche available (at a mere $440K) is the Carrera S at 3.9 0-62mph. Most crotch rockets are in the low 3's to 3.0 range. I had a VFR750F that did it in 3.0 and I spanked a 911 turbo on my way to work one day. So something seems to have been wrong with the GSXR or the rider.

Just had to throw my 3 cents in on that. But that was a good edit job regarding the Porsche forum
