Racing a Porsche

[project_msp]

So today after I dropped my friend off at a buddies house, I was patiently waiting at a redlight to go. When a black porsche pulls up next to me (at the time, I couldn't tell what it was other than that it was in the 911 family). He rolls down his window and actually tells me "Nice Car" (I'm thinking to myself, is he just being a smart ass?) So anyway, the light turns green, and being the funny person that I am, I gun it and so does he. It was quite cool at first, cause I had him for about 1.5 - 2 seconds. Then VROOOM gone, as he passed I noticed the Decal on the back. It read GT3. Heh, It was amazing to watch this thing open up, and wish I still had my digital video camera :\ Anyways, just thought I would tell someone of my cool spotting today.

ummm just woundering what did the spoiler look like? was it the dual curved or was it like a hugh dual level stright wing cuz 99.9% of GT3 are only Cararra with racing wing package... the dual level stright wings are the real GT3's

real

More or less like the one in the picture, I don't quite remember, but yes, it was a real gt3

nice i've never seen the gt3 but i have seen a gt2 before driving around atlanta...

 

[mdaj]

Yep. Thats how it will always turn out:

shouldn't the gt3 be much further ahead?

Whatever dude I smoke Porches all the time I swear to god I'm not lying I got a boost controller and stuff I can super turbo boost those pieces of crap......sorry I'm drunk.

I think you'd be a little more likely to see a GT2 than a GT3, right? I thought the GT3 wasn't being sold in the US, at least in the first year's run.

 

[jflo]

dude, there's like 2 GT3s in my school's neighborhood

 

[Puckpimp71]

Just wondering. I think that for the first year, at least, Porsche didn't ship them here because it's bumpers weren't up to our code or something. Maybe they did after that, but I'm really not up on it.

A MSP has a better handling/dollar ratio than a Porsche. LOL. Thats what I like to tell myself to feel better.

Isnt that what RT said also??

quite the opposite. a GT2 is more rare and about $70k more expensive, and only about 1/10th a second faster from 0-60. GT3's are still amazing. an MSP wouldnt stand any kind of chance with them, no matter how modded. a GT3 is probably the best track car for the money. and yes, they are sold in the US.

"Well my 86 Iroc-z is cherry, and cops dont even bother to pull me over, they cant even get me on the radar, mainly becuase i wax it so much. Its made out of the same material stealth fighters use"

 

[jflo]

speaking of track cars, the ferrari 360 modena challenge stradale made a good comparison w/ the GT3 in R&T. read it, then you'll realize how much these two cars were made for the weekend racer. strict weight, pure power, aerodynamically tuned...only ferrari and porsche can charge more for less

 

[MoJoeTCM]

i dunno, it is funny how slow carreras are, gt3 though? i wonder what our cars could do if it were highly modded, could it hang?

 

[MazdaDryvr]

well i beat the ass off a 944s one time, dude looked pretty upset too. Oh and all the fast guys in their 318i bimmers too. I dont think they know what the MSP is until it's too late and they hear the whistle.

umm umm...aerodynamic drag...and I was drafting him???

the whistles go woooo!

 

[noclue119]

GT2 = Turbo charged beast
GT3 = GT2 without a turbo + some weight reduction... oh ya $75k less too

LOL

A skateboard has an even better handling/dollar ratio....
