Me Vs Grandpa In A Carrera S Cabrio

Recommended Posts

Was underway in Germany once again. A5 direction Basel. Me and the Carrera did several drags from 150 up to 260. From time to time the grandpa at the wheel cached the right gear and he gained some meters :lol:. But never more than 2 car lengts. The sound of his four muffler exhaust told me that he tried it... sometimes.

After five to six drags up to 220 he got mad and he tried it up to 260 without success (he slowed down at 250). I think he was pissed but he was a fair player. I have to say that the Porsche was a bit faster up top (more power, better gearing, bla bla) but it was not that dramatic.

I raced a Carrera Cab before so i know that they can be moved faster... but the fact that he couldn't drive made it more funny for the visitors: Carrera S driving 260 km/h with a crappy black Volvo ??? at his tail :P

For all those who say that this story never happened: Füçk you ! Because i had fun and things like this you (i) can't do all day.

Go to VIR on a test/tune day... No better feeling then passind a "real sportscar".

My list includes:

Viper

couple porsche carrera/s

a porsche TT

Ford GT

MANY vettes, including Z06

lambo

ferrari 360

now most of these kills involve rich people that only drive a stick a couple times a year as these cars are lighter and better balanced than my R.... bad driver or not though... a kill is a kill. I'd say 50/50 are good sports and cool guys, the other are dicks that think a track time is based soley on the price tag of the car.

Actually, my kill list is much longer with my 1986 toyota corrola GTS rwd. 1800 lbs and 240rwp = teh fastness.
