3.9 vs older model Porsche
Well today I took the long way home due to a major traffic jam. I was going around 70 in the fast lane with medium traffic when I was coming up into another car. That's when I look at my rear view mirror and I see this yellow older 70's 80'ish (by wikipedia pics) Porsche. He kept getting closing wanting me to go faster which I couldn't because of the car that I was coming up against. I then see him going to different lanes to get up ahead traffic which he then gets stuck in traffic and gets about 5 car lenghts behind me. That's when I MAYBE saw an opportunity for a quick race.
I head all the way to the right lane in a 4-lane highway to pass up the slow traffic in my land and just to see if I still see him. I then see him trying to also avoid the slow traffic. Well he gets on the lane next to me going around 70. I thought to my self, "If I see him coming up quick I'm stepping on it too". That's when I see him in my side mirror coming up quick and I step on it so I would have a chance. I quickly catched up to his speed and raced head to head for a quick 3 sec maybe when I realized that my lane was an exit only lane. I quickly braked to let him pass and when WOT to to catched up. I was about 3 car lengths' behind him at this moment. He then moved all the way to the fast lane and I followed. From about 70 to about 115mph he did not pull at all. We were basically the same. He didn't pull and I didn't gain which was awesome from my point of view. Then I realize the idiocy of going 115mph and slowed down and traffic was coming up. I know hardly anything about Porsches' just that it look like and OLD model so I doubt it has the power as the Porsches of today. |
Yeah, the 70's and 80's were a bad time for cars in general. But hey, the 3900 does have some pep too so you have to give yourself some credit.

lol, yea. OOHHhhhhhh soooo true. |
sounded like you had fun kingreyana but with the 70-80 models there is alot you can do to them. same way with the third gen monte's as well. it sounds like the porsh was beatin down badly because i went head to head with a sim year and got my ars handed to me. but you had the better chance

i assumed you or sic lsx would like that :)

What is the 3.9 limited to? I'm sure it has a speed limiter, thought it kicked in at 112 or so. At any rate, I love and miss the occasional stree race with my Monte, lot of fun times. If all works out well I should get the L67 Monte, and take these street races to a whole new level of embarrassment. xD
