C43 vs Cayenne S

Yes, I know, the Porsche Cayenne is big and very heavy but I was not expecting such a difference. Coming from the golf club with my brother yesterday... He was driving the Cayenne S. From a rolling start at 60kph (40mph), we both punched it at the same time. After a few seconds, I was already ahead by at least 4-5 car lenghts and was still pulling away. We tried it a few times with the same results. I was expecting to win but not by that much...

Dont get me wrong, Porsche Cayenne S is a marvelous truck to me but I was still proud of my old C-class... :-)

As you should be.

Those 202 C's are beautiful, especially an AMG.

Nice kill Those 43's are really nice. I met a guy here in town at Discount tires, and we talked about his car for a bit. Nice guy, and nice car

Though I think a Cayenne Turbo would give you a better challenge
I havent seen too many CT's in races, and havent really gone side by side with anyone in mine yet, so it is hard to say for sure.
