C32 VS 911 carrera 4s

first of, this happened somewhere in mexico......anyway, was drivin' along and behind me was a drk silver 911 not sure of the year but looked new. anyway he was trying to pas but there were a few cars so i stayed put. he then pulled up next to me and i could hear him down shift and waiting for a lane to open. I said to myself i'd probably get schooled but then i had a free lane and so did he.... inside me figured what the hell....so i floored it, he went right and I left I was behind him about a 1/2 a car...thinking I would get killed.....he wouldn't pull ....i thought huh? theres no way he's just cruising 'coz i'm WOT!!!anyway, there were some cars so I let off .....he wanted to go again,. he was cruising and waiting.... so when I puylled up to him in, I didn't hessitate and i floored it agian, I think reacted first cause I was about a car ahead. the lane next to me was free and he tried to pass but he couldn't catch up but I couldn't pull away either @ WOT but at about 130 he was creeping up slowly. luckily for me we both had to let off b/c of some traffic.....so not really a kill. as he pulled up I wanted to give him the thumbs up but he had the most sour look on his face!!! I was just surprised that i actually kept up....

nice kill john.

honestly, the carrera 4s isnt that quick. i can tell you that the one at dyncomp with intake, exhaust, and tune dyno'd in the 270whp area IIRC. however, if you run across a 911 that says turbo....thats a whole 'nother story.

nice story and stay safe in mexico

A 997 C4S should run high 12s at 110-112mph, correct?

there appears to be a broad range of times.....looks like anywhere from mid 13s at 106 to mid 12s at 113. i suppose it depends on conditions, drivers, and apparently transmisison (IIRC, i think i read some had a 6sp manual and some a 7spd dual clutch auto)

Right, I remember the old Tiptronics were pigs. Also the X-51? package took the power up to 355hp or so. Can't remember the years/model designations. The twin turbos were X-50s iirc.

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
I'm currently in a 996 C4S Cabrio-the C55 would pull harder then this does
Im not surprised you stayed with him-a 4S is a heavier car-and stock is 320bhp-tiptronics add even more weight and shift like ***-Turbos and GT class cars...yeah-you know what those are
Nice work!

i feel that that isnt what was being said. i said i'm not surprised you pulled. you arent heavily modded, but the non turbo carerra 4s isn't THAT fast.....it appears that their quickness varies by yr, transmission, package, etc.....so nice kill.
