I"m pretty sure it wasn't a turbo. Regardless good kill and glad you had fun! I remember the first time I destroyed a 997 C2S(in SLK) ... it was a great feeling.
Yeah, about 25mph more and it is....jesus...why does everyone on here have to be so critical-the point I'm making is that the OP's car has a considerably higher top end then the Pcar (turbo or not) and that 170mph, even in 6th gear-the Pcar is somewhere in the 5k rpm range-how do I know that? Look at me-I own a C4S...no, I havent gone 170 in it....
btw-learn how to quote....

I agree, the Porsche would have gone more than 170, it's just I got there first. While we are on the subject, I thought most replies would have been a simple..... nice kill.... Instead it's, was it an C4s, don't race in tandem, etc, etc,etc,.
Next time I will keep it to myself, thanks to all who said..nice kill .. though.

It's a public forum where members will post their opinions, contribute facts or tips, favorable or not.

The point was made but you keep commenting.
