straight line performance is just one of the MANY measurements of a car's performance. Slalom, skidpad, 100-0, road course times, etc. are all equally important....sure I can have a drag car that run's 6's....but can't execute a simple turn, what good is that? Throw the carrera and the stealth on a twisty mountain road and Oops...where did the stealth go? But since you back up your claim that the stealth would out handle a 911...I'm guessing he has some susp. mods. Let's throw another factor into the mix, RELIABILITY....you can ride the fuck out in the 911, come home turn it off, and start it back up in the morning...even if the stealth hasn't had any problems yet, I'll guarantee that it is WAY more finicky than Stuttgart's own Not trying to start somethin, I've just grown up sleepin in the sebring pit boxes during PCA events
so I gotta show love
