Porsche can suck it
Well I was back up in KC this weekend and it was nice all weekend so I decided to knock the dust out of the Mustang since it'd been sitting in the garage for a couple weeks. While I was out cruising around I figured I'd do some X-mas shopping so I headed to the big local shopping area which is out by where all the rich folks live. I pulled up to a light and I had the music up pretty load so I barely even noticed this Porsche pull up next to me until I rolled down my window to flick my cigarette and he's reving at me. I looked away and rolled my eyes and then turn and tell him "nice car" and ask him what model it is. Apparently it's a 911 GT2...not suprising, this is the same area where I saw a Ferrari F50. So he revved a couple more times so I shot back...it was like that scene in 2F2F with that Challenger and the Eclipse...but this is a Porsche, not a DSM so I figure it should be interesting. Light turns green and we both nailed it. He got the jump because, as usual, I wasn't careful and floored it too quick and pulled the front end up a bit. But by the engine of second gear I was at his door and pulling like a mf'er. We took it up to about 85mph and I had an easy 1 1/2 car lengths. He followed me into the parking lot and I popped my hood for him and he looked pissed...the look that can only come from some yuppie asshole who knows he just got owned by a lowly Mustang. Then he says he wants to go from a roll (there's a highway interchange about a mile away from where we were). I told him I was game and I'd even let him be on the horn. We pull even at around 60mph and he holds up 3 fingers. After the 3 quickest beeps I've ever heard he jumps half way through the second one. No matter, I figured. I beat him from a roll so I'm feeling cocky. Around 85mph I caught up with him, blew him a kiss, and slowly pulled until we cut out around 130mph where I had about another car length on him. I honestly thought I'd be on the losing end of that one...yeah, I've got more power, but this is a freakin Porsche. Maybe next I'll go looking for Carrera GTs. Yeah, right.
