Hard to tell who is ahead, it looked very close.

Every-time I see one of these races on such a busy highway it makes me think of Russian roulette.

Oh comon, you guys make it sound like these things don't go on in the US lol.

Score one for Kleeman/AMG, a 996TT TechArt is a formidable opponent.

I do it all the time, but at 2:00 to 4:00 am in the morning on the sawgrass.
Either way very good kill.

Albert did I tell you my story when I headed to miami in my 4 Cyl...I am somewhere in I75 like at 2 AM and all of a sudden I look back and I see 4 HID's coming ridiculously fast , they blow past me and it was a silver supra with a porsche, couldn't see models and color of porsche but I swear they must have been going 160 or more....when they passed me my car rocked side to side, lol!...it was crazy.

Hey Sleeper- that white Pcar looks Hot!!! So you still want to trade the beast for that...Nahhh, i'd rather stay in comfort...at least for now, lol!

Did you check the compression ratio on the P-car engine, wow!!!

Trade my car for a P-car... Nope. I am keeping the beast. I like having a sleeper, plus I can't give up the comfort..

Sleeper, please spank "The Lank" ASAP. He sounds like he's preparing for battle. Do you have all your new go fast parts installed yet?

Go fast parts? Hmm. Not sure what you are referring too.. I hope he installs NOS just so that I don't waste my gas.

Thats awesome dude, the few Supras I see around here never race. I'd love to see one in action. And thats kind of what happened to me when I was racing an Evo and I got smoked by a ridiculously modded S4 lol. I was up to like 100mph and racing this dude and all of a sudden on the left lane this S4 just blow by both of us at like 150mph, my whole car shook and my ear drums almost broke.

And who is this guy that Sleeper is going to race? I wanna be there , I never got to see his car in action and I'm a big fan. Maybe someone could PM me the info if its cool. Peace

I second that. My father went from an SL55 to a 997 Turbo and he got rid of the Porsche within 2 weeks. Not a very good daily driver.

Plus, nothing beats a luxury saloon that can spank exotics and smoke sportscar icons.
