Porsche GT3-RS vs my 02 Z28

**Mike's02Z28M6** · 02-01-2008, 02:30 PM

I'm at a red light waiting to make a left turn to go down a long 2 lane freeway entrance. I see this black and orange Porsche pull up behind me. Younger looking guy behind the wheel. I rev my car a few times to let him know I'm going to nail it when the light turns green...light turns green, I nail it.

Get to the top of first and peak at the rearview and the Porsche is lolly-gagging real slow like 15 cars behind me...I stay in it hard, shift second (if for anything just fun), get towards the top of the 2nd gear and peak in my mirror and the Porsche is still 15 cars back but obviously gunning it or I'd have put more distance on him...

Grab 3rd gear (AKA the Z28 savior gear) at 6000 rpm and peak at the rearview...the Porsche is gaining HARD on me...okay...top of 3rd shift 4th at 100+ mph peak in my rear view mirror and IMMEDIATELY turn my signal on to move a lane over and get the HELL OUT OF HIS WAY! That fucking Porsche passed me EASILY at +25 MPH easily going 130 mph and blew by me like God through the damn thing. I was stunned and amazed to see how fast that car is.

He stayed in it for a moment and got off at the next freeway exit. I've never wanted a 150 wet shot of nitrous so bad in my life!

Exact pic of said car:

well at least it was a car that costs over 100k more then your car. i have always wanted to race a porsche but they will never run me. well good death and let me know if that guy does not buy that exhaust cause i will.

It might be badass and expensive, but it looks like it should only come out on halloween. That can't be stock on the porsche because they have class.

That is a factory color.

good death no shame in losing to one of those

^ no shame at all in losing to a race track proven car like that that tops over 200.

go race a boxster... or even a Carrera....

you may win.

Daaaamn!! Good death!

I'd love to get a run at one of those...no matter how quickly he may leave me!

Anyone know the hp rating on one of those?

415 HP, low 12s in the quarter, top speed in the 180s; I think.
Car mags compare it to the C6zo6, but the vette beats it in all categories except price and exclusivity

**Danger731** · 02-02-2008, 12:40 PM

100 shot should do it

**05WhiteSRT4** · 02-02-2008, 01:26 PM

The Porsche wasn't racing

**MikeSomething** · 02-02-2008, 06:01 PM

I'd love to run one as well, especially w/ my mods...
Hard to find something like that around here.

**nevrlift** · 02-11-2008, 11:54 AM

ive ran a few carreras but never a GT3...good death man

**Roastem** · 02-14-2008, 08:37 AM

That Porsche is badass, but yeah costs like over 100 grand or something. That is stock paint, they also have a green/black combo. That is some Michael Myers sh*t going on with that scheme. Man if I had the cash, a Porsche has always been on my dreamlist, and the top N/A model, which is the GT3, would be my Porsche of choice. Rear wheel drive, 400 plus ponies, and a Porsche to boot.

Here's my buddy Joe's car after he dropped me off at work in the city a few weeks back. He'll be running that thing over at Englishtown soon, with an occassional street race here and there, I'm sure. Wanna try him out, Mike....?
