Porsche Cayenne Kill On My Way Home!!
I live in downtown Chicago...Was driving home from work just now and when I got off 90 to get onto Ohio Street I booked *** across three lanes and raced across the bridge towards the intersection about 3/4 of a mile away...No later than after I had started accelerating a white Cayenne Turbo pulled behind me and I just kept gaining distance (got up to XXXmph before I started to brake and create distance between us and the traffic ahead - try to stay safe too)...I'd say I gained 4-7 (it was dark and mirrors distort distance) car lengths after close to a quarter mile....We proceeded into the city, up LaSalle and onto Chicago where I stopped and talked to the guy...There was no half-assing about this, we were both shifting "manually", holding brake at red lights to launch etc...He said he had a chip in the thing and I completely believe him...I let him pass at one point to hear the thing and it seriously scared me, the thing screams...(by the way, I'm laughing my *** off too right now, didn't expect it but it's the truth)
Am I off base or is this even possible? The guy was definitely at open throttle the whole time, so was I, but I only have an E-350 4-Matic???
Nonetheless the **** got my adrenaline up and I forgot about my day at work so it was well worth it and thats all that matters...
BTW...I felt my pulse and calculated 184BPM after the whole thing...Wish I could race cars for a living..

If u're at stock levels, u only have 270 hp and 260ft/lbs torque. The Cayenne Turbo has 500 hp and 516ft/lbs torque, and does 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. Either he has a fake "turbo" badge on his Porsche, like you have an AMG hood badge on your non-AMG car, or he is one hell of a bad driver.
If indeed his was the turbo version, he should have KILLED you.

Nice ! I started playing with a Blue 335i on my way home today. We were doing pretty good until he started taking it too seriously and started to zig-zag between cars going 80+ to loose me. I found that to be a little irresponsible and dangerous towards the other drivers on the road so I just hung back and blended in with the rest of the traffic. I know what you mean; nothing washes away a hard day's work then hearing your engine rev up and having a little fun

enjoy the taste of the kill.... but my cayenne turbo would have eaten my E500 for lunch... and I eat E350s for lunch with my E500... so the guy must have had his wife with him... that definitely takes a second off of a 1/4 mile ....

Yeah the 335i was amazingly nimble but I was doing just fine keeping up. The reason why I backed off because traffic was getting denser and he didn't seem to mind cutting people off just to get away from me me; he did one too many "dick moves" for me to back off before someone got hurt or ran off the road.

But yeah; I think without traffic I would have gone home with my tail between my legs.
