997 TT vs SL600 TT

While traveling thru Mexico I stumbled upon a cherry new looking P-car, is it? is it? Ohhh yes it is..... A nice wide Silver 997 TT w/huge yellow calipers It's crowded but I'm NOT letting this opportunity go (I fueled up w/Torco today in hope of a lil action, & emptied all the oem spare-wheel/tire krap outta trnk, weighed 94lbs!!)

I had to ride this chump like Zoro! he tried to do a quick stomp on the pedal & lane change to get me off his back, NO good I had it 2nd gear screaming nearing red-line just waiting for such a move, I did this for nearly 20min till he freaked out & wanted to run me. (I looked over @ him & he had this look, like please, you don't have a prayer)

We had a few clear spots w/2 lanes free, from about 65mph we hit it, to his & my surprise we were even for a sec then I started a slow walk 2-2 1/2 lengths 135mph then had to shut-em down (trffc) after this he wouldn't even look over at me, I'm laughing giving thumbs-up, he freaks out cuts me off (exhaust sounded good) starts ricering down the frwy, I let him have a little slack for a few min & hid behind an 18 wheeler while I watched him cutting mutiple cars off, then he got stuck behind a slow car hehehe, I jumped right back on his **** in the fast lane (took a couple pix, we were on a 4 laner)

The # 3-4 lanes open this time, I don't know who punched it 1st, but I quickly look in rearview & don't see him, wtf? he's off about 3 lengths back stuck to my right side, again we had to stop for traffic...He's visibly pissed starts ricering again, takes the next exit made my day man!!!


& before you guys say it "NO it wasn't the Carrera S" It was the Turbo model w/Turbo badge on rear/Giant yellow Porsche Calipers & quad exhaust etc..

Love it !, Keep it coming.

My story of the day 3 lane road going home I push the pedal 3/4 of the way and begin to fly to about 70 , woman in the middle lane is doing 40. Im like to my friend "what she gonna do", watch her go to the right" , Boom goes to the right into my lane like the stupid ***** she is had to break a lil hard just to avoid not hitting her. I hate rookies.

I had to tell a coworker at work that...this female I work with said that she saw in her rear view mirror, two cars coming up dipping through traffic, and she got scared and was going to change lanes so she wouldn't get hit. I told that's exactly what NOT to do...I explained when two cars are dipping just keep at the exact pace that you are doing, don't change a thing... they are anticipating the gaps ahead and watching for spots that they can keep moving at that pace.

Nice kill. It always makes it sweeter when they get all pissed off and start driving like a dumbazz.

Mexico sure has changed since that last I've been there...

Viva La Mexico!

It is the sun, the smooth roads, great 80 octane PEMEX gas, and the Latina Weemen.

I know what you mean, those rookies pissed me off also until one day I realized that I'm the rookie because I'm running around other cars thinking that I'm a professional race car driver when in fact the other drivers are interested in making it to their home safely. What a revelation that was! Screwed up my whole day. Nowadays my speed thrills are left to open clear highways where I'm not endangering myself and others, especially those drivers who don't give a sh*t about the 700 hp under my hood.

Lol. That V12 TT is a lot of fun, though I've only seen it from the front a few times...

I met up with him for a few runs, but heat soak ruined our day.

But I think it's pretty Fin fast compared to a 55K, but you never know.

Properly with the honks, but like I said, heat soak ruined my day.

He ran with MJ that day and I think Sean smoked him, but I'm not sure.

Sean... what happened?
