Talking Ever had this happen to you yet ?

While you are enjoying you new car... enjoying the tunes .. all of the sudden you feel something wrong !
Feels like there is something beside me... taunting me...

,all the sudden I realized that it was a porche 911 carrera (looks like an older one)

We were going 75-80 ... he then steped on the gas , then cut into my lane ( The third one) and waited for me to follow...

Hmm. Did I ?

Would you ?

Not exactly that yet, but my 60 + year old high school German teacher (a native of Stuttgart) raced me today from a stoplight in her old E320... I forgot she used to drive a Corvette when I was in high school oh so many years ago... Should have expected as much...

And yes, I did win...

The 911 might just embarass you in a 350... You can take it in a 55, though...

I have been nursing mine, waiting for the magic 1000 miles, and was next to a Corvette at a stop light the other night who wanted to take me on.
IF my wife wasn't with me and it wasn't downtown Waikiki, and I had over 1k... I might have tried it..... next time
Ah, the thrill of it all..........LOVE IT!
PS, I did get off the line first though :p

Sorry to burst your bubble but don't even try picking on the Corvette. If it is one of the new ones he has a 140 HP advantage over you and will smoke you before you even notice. The SLK350 is not in the same class as that car so don't make yourself look stupid.

Depends if that was my old 911 with all the mods - I blew away Ferraris with it (911 is one of the fast car in the world - 170MPH comes real fast). Would have been fun to watch it disappear.... lol
