This is a very embarrassing post however a few weeks ago, some local guys convinced me to take two of my cars up to a local drag strip for a test and tune night. My 911 is not exactly set up for drag racing however I figured that I should have no problems against Dodge Rams (with very modified Cummins Diesels). Well, I was wrong.
I did get a lot of wheel spin and my clutch is slipping however I thoroughly got my butt kicked. The truck that I was racing, let off the throttle because I was so far behind. I think that he normally runs 1/4 miles in the mid 12's. My time was pathetic. If everything was running right, I think that I would have gotten low to mid 13's. We were going to race my Cayenne Turbo (with the baby seat in back!) vs the rams but we ran out of time. I defense of the Porsche crowd- my car was basically stock (I did not have mufflers on during race) and their trucks were heavily modified. Next time, I will take them to race a road coarse against my 914- that would be fun to watch. heres the post (my race is about midway through the video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g4T02MI89Q |

This is certainly not what I expected down here. Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
For some reason I was thinking both cars were faster. A 911 non turbo only traps 95ish?
