Default WASTED a guy in a new 911 GT3

I was at an intersection and a guy in a new GT3 pulls up next to me. He glances over at me, I glance over at him. I ease the Vette up to signal my intentions and BAM!!!

He was in my rear-view mirror and disappearing quickly! It was awesome!

I mean...okay...if you're gonna be technical about it, he was in the left turn lane...but still! I'll count it as a win!

I washed it a couple of weeks ago and put new tires on it...also, my daughter put one of those happy meal beanie toys on the dash...that's gotta be worth 200+ HP.

I’ve driven a new GT3 and that car would’ve flat out dusted you if it were a real race.

Straight line or twisties, he would’ve left you badly.

One time I absolutely embarrassed a ferrari. I was in my 1991 honda civic. Zoomed past it like it was standing still! Admittedly, it was standing still. So my feelings about how fast I was going in comparison are absolutely accurate.

I've got a yellow one sitting on the local lot down the street.

I wonder which kidney they would want in order to allow me to test drive it.

I lived in England until I was 32 and a Porsche guy, I was out in the countryside on a damp November night, too much throttle and I rolled my turbo. Loved the car but you can't beat an American V8.

I have run variations of the boxer/wankel/twin turbo but when it comes down to it...LS V8 is what stirs my soul. The others can have same or more power but the experience for me isn't the same. I would LOVE to find a well done LS swap FD RX-7.

LS1 / T5 / Sikky Kit. The pics are from our own version of LS Fest. There was a BUNCH of HP in my driveway that day.
Stirs MY soul too! Well said!!

Oh, that picture reminds me of my G8. Fun car for a daily driver, especially when I put some flowmasters on it.
