Me vs a porsche 911 4S

[RyanRs]

i dont no much about porsches, not a great fan of them, but i love the phrase 'porsche killer' and after months of waiting, i finally had my turn to have a play with one

i followd the 4S thru the a2 to tesco bowaters roundabout (in gillingham ,kent) he gave it a lil bit of wellie round the roundabout -not stupid speed... but i kept with him no prob.. he then turned off (4th exit) which is a 1 mile of duel carrageway.. he was about 2 car lenghts in front of me, and as he hit the straight, he Bahooooowted it! the thing roooored! , anyway, as he did, i booted it too.. and fooook me, by 2/3 of the way up, i found my self changing lanes and overtaking him -not by that much , but i did pass him about 4mph faster than he was going (obv while we are both still accelerating)

i gave him a lil wave as i went past, he gave a lil Toottoot, and we went our seperate ways.

now, wen i got online and looked up the 4s, i couldnt belive the specs of that car... i fort mabe i had misred the badge and mabe it was the next model down(the 4) but i rember lookin at the wheels on the car, thinkin -ooo there nice and BIG, and it was definatly the 4S wheels! -confirming that i wasnt just imagining the S after the 4

he was definatly booting it, you could see him dropping the clutch and hear the engine raging through the revs.

-WOW! i killed my 1st porsche.. on 1.1 bar, (310bhp on rollers) and dying piston rings

Owww , now i wish i had my forgies fitted, so i can wack me boost back upto 1.5 bar again and fly past him insted of slowly passing him!

I can genuinely believe this aswel as my tubby with 15psi boost and a downpipe can keep with them. Theyre 3.6 litre arent they? The only real porsche is the 911 turbo

[V8Killer]

A real Porsche is a GT2!

Definately my next car

Dauer 962 now thats more like it if we are talking porsches

[splashnatz]

one of the bosses at work has a carrera 4s (convertible one), it's exhaust seems to come out of those " sideways 8's" tailpipes, i got down to look at the gorgeous exhaust and ... they're just clipped on over a normal mild steel exhaust. i was gutted to see that.

[RyanRs]

lol, yea i noticed that bout the exausts , when i see one before!!

i dont understand tho, on porsche's website it says the 4s does 62 in 4.8 sec and 178 top iirc..

surely it shuld of spanked my tubby being as i have engine troubles?! humm i must have much overestimated the porsches!

but it also says the top of the range cayenne turbo s does 62 in 5.1 sec and 168 mph... humm, i no its got a lot of power, but its also got a lot of weight and the aero dynamics of a house brick :S id like to see that proven!

Yeah right. Can you smell summat?

[Hedgehog Dodger]

The 911 4S is 4wd, but not turbo charged.

You did well

When I had my old MR2 about 220HP - Stage 1 mods on a Rev2, I had a run up against onof the Porsche Cayenne Turbos. And we had a play 3 times at the lights and I beat him once. Very quick 4X4.......just like the BMW X5 4.8IS, there quick too, not as quick as the Porsche in a straight line.

[shadowninja]

With that engine it'd be so much quicker if the stupid thing didn't weigh so much. Pointless, really. A ~500bhp car that accelerates like a ~300bhp car. I'd be annoyed.

And it's not like you can even say "yeah but they look gorgeous" cos they look f**king poo. I'd be embarressed to be seen driving one. (That might explain the drug dealer tint windows that they have...)

Definately my next car

frickin Beetle with a big engine!!!!!!!

Cant stand 911s and yes, i have driving them including a current gen turbo, last gen turbo and last gen Carrera 2.

yuck, i have a trust a car a bit and no matter how good the grip levels are , take it round a sweeping bend and you cna still fell that engine trying to pull you over. Give the raod a bit of gravel or diesel and it'back end first througha bush' time!

Now the 944 Turbo, Mmmmmmm, championship winning (with tiff Needel no less!) classis combination Porsche without any silly inherent desgn flaws.

I had a porsche 4s in my 200sx on Saturday, very similar story actually. they are lovely though, aren't they?

look at it this way, the performance of a mental tuned MR2 turbo but with the characteristics of a 7th generation over-developed german supercar!!

I like them. They rock.

A real Porsche is a 959

[philster_d]

And he probably looks at your spoilerless green car with a black bonnet and thinks the same

I agree on the 944, my old man had one of the first 924s, then *the* first RHD 924 Turbo (number 6 I believe), then a 944 Turbo .. I still want one now, but they are showing their age unfortunatly.

oooooooo, I oughta!!!!!! hey at least i HAVE a profile , wheres the pics of yours or are you preempting the response?!

there's a red 944 s2 two house down from me and I still cant help ogling it every time i walk past, Just another one to add to the list that i wanna own one day. besides how can you say the 944 is showing its age when a 911 still looks like a Beetle with a lower roofline!
