My Best Kill so far :)

Today i had the best ever run since i bought my car

i met up with a 997 TT at the stop light, at the first stop light he didn't race me but at the next light the road was free and at the green we both had it on, to say the truth i had some daughts that i have any close performance with the 997 but i had a small advantage from zero.

its hard to tell but i guess i had a better reaction time than he did (and it didn't seem to be even .2 of a sec or so) and to me i think that was the best ever i had my car run at from zero.

anyways from zero to around 80mph he kind of closed the gap between both cars i was a car lenght ahead, and from 80-110 his car couldn't pull ahead of me *i didn't even see the car's front bumper next to the passenger door* and we breaked after that.
to me most important part of the race that i could see him on my right side mirror during the whole race

best rush since i have bought my S65

i really am upset for not being able to provide a video didn't have anyone with me to take it, wanted to share my victory.

I think MB should give you guys one, every person who buys a S65/SL65/CL65 should get a camera man to them to record all their kills.
lol, that would definetely be a crazy business strategy.

On a trip from San Jose to Anaheim last weekend, I met a 996 TT on I-5 and there was no contest. The S65 pulled was way too strong for him at all speeds, but we did enjoy each other's company for a good stretch, including a nice run at 140. I was chatting on the phone for some of it .

I would have thought the 997 would be a different story, though.
