pretty funny stuff...getting a kill with a clueless p-car owner. Seems the usual line is "my car costs so much less and its so much faster." Well, as has been pointed out before, 911s are not designed for 0-60. Take a 911 (preferably an older one...say an early car with a 3.6 transplant) on a road course and run it hard for 12 hours. Repeat as necessary. Then do the same with a tweaked rice rocket. Oh yeah...probably a bad idea.

I know it's fun to "humiliate" someone in an expensive car, but most 911 owners who are real enthusiasts would just laugh when you pull up and rev it. It's about more than streetlight drag races...at least for some people.

And btw my slow little 911 cost me well under $20K, is 24 years old, and still tight as a drum. Come back in 15 years and tell me how your (insert favorite rice rocket model here) is running...

Don't get me wrong. I follow WRC, have respect for the STi, Evo, etc. But they aren't an aircooled flat 6. For some people that doesn't matter (all they want is a low 1/4 time), and for others it does. To each their own...
