while coming home from seeing HIM in LA, i came across a 911 turbo. I had a full car, and knew that even if empty i wouldn't have a chance. He was by himself, so i got next to him and put it in 3rd and kinda paced him, gunning and slowing. I was trying to provoke him to do something, i just wanted to see how crazy the car was. After doing this for a min or so, he bit, and flew by me. I caught up to him and we all tried to give him a thumbs up, and he wouldn't even acknowledge us. We had another go at it, this time, i was trying to keep up the best i could, and stopeed at around 120, he might have hit about 130. This was following each other in the carpool lane. Point of reference: near LAX. Anyway... i just thought i would pass that along, i had fun seeing the car perform, both his and mine.

I drive a C43 and had an GT3 toy with me a couple months ago. The guy had the windows down and we spoke for a second at the light. We didn't get into details but the car had a full roll cage inside that was nicely matched to the interior. It had sick 3pc wheels that must have been 11"-12" in the rear. The car was not normal and sounded dirty.

We had two runs from a stop light and each time it seemed as if the car was thrown off the line. It was sick and I was left in the dust.
