I HAD ME A PORSCHE FOR LUNCH THIS WEEKEND!
A new Porsche 911 Carrera S.....well....we didn't actually race but we encountered each other on CA 241 (toll road). As soon as he saw me approaching from behind he gunned it ....I gunned it too.....after he tried to leave me behind...unsuccessfully....on three separate attempts....he finally slowed down and let me pass. I did...but slowly.....slow enough to let him take a good look at the annoying black vette! [8D]

RE: I HAD ME A PORSCHE FOR LUNCH THIS WEEKEND!
Amazing that we both had the same experience. Some people think that since they have acquired a Porsche, nothing can touch them; well, they're wrong. On our illustrious Hwy 401 the same thing happened to me. I was tooling along ( without the wife in the car) and a new Porsche came screaming up behind me and stayed about 4 feet behind me at 110 km/hr. I put up with this for about 10 seconds, floored my baby ( 87 Lingenfeltetr-based Vette) and left him with a cloud of so-called "dust". He never came up behind me again for at least a distance of 50 kms. When he turned off the highway, he sauntered up beside me and gave me a wave and made a circle with his right thumb and forefinger.[sm=nono.gif]

RE: I HAD ME A PORSCHE FOR LUNCH THIS WEEKEND!
I sure do, Pecemkr!
Golly, sometimes it is so hard to be mature when I am behind the wheel of so much power. One day, I pulled up to a red light alongside of a guy on a motorcycle. Now mind you, it wasn't even a HD or any other really fast ride, so it was somewhat ridiculous that he would even think about gunning it off the line, but he did and I reciprocated. I didn't even have the gas pedal halfway down and this guy was so far behind me, I just waved to him through my rearview window. As we approached the next light, I slowed down and as he passed me, he looked back over his shoulder to see who in the world this woman was that blew him away. All I could do was smile and then worry that he was going to run into something while he was looking back at me. Guess my maternal instincts were kicking in. Now, I don't approve of street-racing, but that was so much fun and besides - he started it. :) Take care, stay safe, Rita |

re: motorcycle that wasn't HD ..
..umm .. *cough* .. Harley-Davidson's aren't fast. Now .. V-max ..or FJ Yamaha ..or perhaps a turbo'd Ninja will step an fetch :) -grin- -Frank (friend of mine turbo'd his '76 900 Kawasaki thru Vance and Hines .. 9 second ET's and a bit of a challenge to keep the front wheel down, even thru the lites) |
RE: I HAD ME A PORSCHE FOR LUNCH THIS WEEKEND!
Rita,
Unfortunately for us, almost every Japanese motocycle out there is faster - even the relatively small 600 cc bikes will do low 12s or better in the 1/4-mile. It's the Harleys that we CAN sometimes beat! BTW, on the last mountain run I attended, there were five supercharged C5s that showed up. One has over 700 HP. Porsche guys know that the "super-vettes" are out there and it appears that mister rich guy rarely challenges us for long. Dave |

I just always thought the HD were suppose to be the best. And I'm sure you are right about all the Japanese bikes out there, but again, I was just relaying what went down that day. Now, I don't know what kind of bike this kid was on, or if he had lead in his diaper that day, all I know is Iflew past him without any difficulty. :) Again, thanks to all for theinfo on bikes. Take care, stay safe. RJ |
RE: I HAD ME A PORSCHE FOR LUNCH THIS WEEKEND!
I guess "best" has different meanings. I love Harleys and never really considered anything except the new Indian, and the Grey Ghost and Buell, etc.. They are certainly fast, and look and sound like real bikes. But when my youngest went shopping for a bike three years ago, he only looked at Japanese "crotch rockets." I tried to tell him that he could get a could Harley for the same money , but he just said, "Dad, only old men ride those things."
Oh, God, what a put down. But I got the last laugh. The 'vette beat his 960 cc looks-like-an-alien-creature-bikein 3out of 3 races, all 20 mph street start tono limit drags out on the state highway, with his girlfriend riding with me and all his friends watching. I know that is just not ever supposed to happen, but I kicked his butt . . . And you know, he sold the damn thing three months later. Didn't buy a Harley (yet) -- bought a house instead, but it's the principle of the thing, you realize. |
