Default Carrera 4

Well not a kill story, but just a complaint and some questions.


Well I was running with a Porsche Carrera 4 (what it said on the back) in and out of traffic a little. But since I'm not broken in or tuned I couldn't boost or go over 4k so it wasn't a race. But just in case I got the chance again what do these run? God I thought about saying fuck it and just run him anyways, but the whole having a brand new engine thing might have been pointless after that. Damn is it hard sometimes to let people go though. Especially your average stang GT. Oh and it looked like basically a brand new one. So whats the stats on these? What engine do they have, NA, turbo? Thanks. Hopefully in a month it will be a kill story

No, lol I don't think these are that fast, but the guy seemed like he had the attitude like its the fastest thing with 4 wheels. No real idea though.

N/A flat 6, 3.8 I think. Probably am thinking of the Carrera4S though.

All I really know is it said Carrera 4 on the back and was a hard top and looked similar (if not the same) to the rear shot he posted. The spoiler was out on it. And it was like a graphite gray color.

If the spoiler was out - then it was doing over 55 mph!

13 second 1/4 - 0-60 in 5

275 -300 hp flat six (depending on the year)

Oh I wasn't sure if the retractable spoiler would tell you the year/model or not, thats why I mentioned it. So a 13 flat? Thats a little better than I thought. Cool, wish I could of ran him for real.
