997 Carrera "S" ?

Last night when I was in Arcadia area. This chick driving the 997 Carrera S in front of me. I might be little close to her plus my 8000k headlights and fog lights probably too bright.

I saw her waving her hand inside the car. So I thought she was waving at someone or ????? I had no idea. But I didn’t see any passenger next to her, Then I have a feeling that, she must be saying ‘bye bye’ to me ? LOL.

Then we follow the curve and enter the freeway on ramp, she floored it with WOT. I was right behind her at all time, she had no clue what I was driving but just an E class?. Once we get on the freeway, I went next her, downshift to 4th. I passed her with EASE !!!!! Man, the powerchip tune is crazy. Thanks Travis LOL.

The only thing I notice is I can see her car from my mirror getting smaller and smaller LOL.

It didn't do that in purpose though. Traffic was bad on local street after work.

Nice.

Although I thought the 997 Carerra S was pretty comparable performance wise to a stock C63. Maybe she didn't know what her car could do or didn't know how to handle it - either way it's probably better to kill a comparable car because then it's just driver skill.

she probably thought you were a rapist and tried to flee away from you, but when she found out you were flooring it, she stopped and let you do the work of getting away from her

Porsche

HaHa, another C-Klasse surprise courtesy of our friends at AMG

That may be one of the most fun things about owning any of the AMG sedans is that to all but the experts it looks just like a standard C or E or S Klasse benz. I am a pretty crazy car guy and for years I was unaware that MB made a performance line. I thought that AMG was like a trim package with pretty wheels and wider tires, lol. Boy was I in for an education... snap.

First time I drove one it was like, wow finally a car that was made the way I would make it if I owned the factory. Cept I would offer a 6-spd manual option (AMG are you listening?). I came out of a Porsche and am not missing it all that much.

It is soooo much fun to dust a Ferrari or a Porsche or any other type of dedicated sports car in a 4 door sedan with 4 people in the car and your luggage, the "WTF" look on their faces is priceless, lol. Good one mate.

I'd be careful, the new '09 911 S is a much more potent foe. 7 speed dual clutch transmission and a power bump to 385HP in a lightened package.

911's

So true. Porsche is always improving the performance of their top rung toys. None of us can hope to consistently dust a new one with last years iron. And they can be modded too. I have a 87 year old friend who has a new red 911 turbo AWD with enough mods to run 10.99 ET's @ 130mph. There arn't many of us gonna beat that on street tires and pump gas and no NOS, lol. Personnally, I love Porsches.

Yes, but with a modified E63AMG. It might have little hard time catching up lol.

Oh ya, i totally agree. My friend has the old porsche and he has more than 500hp on it, since the car is so light. It accerelates like a rocket. My wife has the 996 , I can feel the car is like half the weight of my AMG LOL.

Most likely she was waving her hand because she was blinded and annoyed by your too bright headlights and tailgaiting as you said yourself?

Nice kill. She was clearly trying to wave "bye-bye".

So far, I've killed '99 or '00 Carrera 996 coupe, and a several G37S. I tried to add an '09 E61 550i, but he wanted no part of it
