C32 VS 06 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
I was on my way home from work yesterday and I was crusing about 70 when I look in my rear view mirror and see these bright zenons flashing up in down in the distance. Finally he pulls up and does the ricer fly by. So I catch up to him and get next to him. No traffic in front of us so I was like what the hell lets do it. So I downshifted to 3rd and I hear him do it to so were off. I start pulling on him right away. As it shifts way before him into
4th he starts catchin up i was only like half a car in front so by then when my 4th gets higher rmps I start walking him by the time we shut down at 140 i was a car infront. IT was a great race though.
Then My friend got a o6 gt he put a short shifter on yesterday and he thought he was much faster then me so I was like alright lets do it. We pull up to the light when the light turns green I see he gets a huge launch and my cars rpms drop low. What it was is i forgot to turn esp off. lol so he gets a car and a half on me by 3rd gear i passed him easy. lol it was funny. then we raced 2nd on and I pull so hard it wasnt even close.
Just thought i let you know my 2 kills.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
Nice kills, didn't know for $87,000 base you only get 355hp out of the Cabrio. Slightly pathetic. But good, it deserved to be walked.

It was a good race. He did have his top down so that will definatly slow him down I would think. It did sound real nice though. Drowned my car out.

As for "C240Style."...Porsche hp seems to pull that little bit harder than most ( they don't seem to stretch the figures, maybe even underestimate it). 355bhp is plenty in a car that would walk a 600bhp Merc in the twisties.
