Default Raced a newer Porche Boxer

I was on my way home tonight minding my own business on a highway north of Chicago. My car was not even warmed up yet when a couple of kids in a Porche Boxer started to taunt me, so I ignored them for a couple of miles then I shifted into 4th at 75mph and took off to show them what I had. Then they pulled up next to me smiling with the thumbs up, I slamed it into 4th again at about 75mph and went to red line into 5th, I pulled away slowley the whole time and killed him by 2 car lengths. I was really happy and I still have a throttle body plenum & K&N CAI to install in a couple of weeks. Was this a good kill or are Boxers that slow?

If it was a "regular" Boxster, your win was a foregone conclusion. It it was a Boxster S -- you did pretty well -- your mods evened out the race. The "S" version is 280hp, and does 0-60 in about 5.2 secs according to Porsche. And it weighs about 200 lbs less than a Stang.

I normally don't respond too much to street racing threads. I had a run-in the other day with an older 928 Gemballa. In case there are some unfamiliar with those cars here's what I remember. 5.0L V8, SOHC I think. Ported heads, exhaust, high compression pistons and rockin out about 330 horsepower I think. This dude wanted to be a terd. He had a strong sounding car and I guess he got upset when he heard mine over his while pulling away from a light. I didn't think too much of him at first until he started with the BS. The next light he swerved over in front of me no more than 40 feet from a red light and jammed on the binders. I damn near rear ended him just out of principle. Light goes green and he just putts away from it, I don't think he even used first gear. As soon as we get across the intersection I'm looking to get around him. For the next 1/8 mile or so every lane change I made, he matched so I couldn't get around him. Finally I got fed up and dropped it into second at about 35. As soon as the boost gage hit 9, i swung out from behind him with the exhaust absolutely screaming. He tried to keep up but there was no chance of that. I let up at about 65ish and coasted back down to 55. He tried to pull the same stunt at the very next light but I swerved over into the lane he came out of and glared at him as we waited. He started to say something and i just sat there and held the engine at about 3 grand so I couldn't hear him and he couldn't hear himself think. I hate jackasses like that. They make my road rage flare up.

5 liter, watercooled, overhead cam V8 engine (not in production anymore) is a real porche....used on 928...

924 motor was build by VW and for sure not a real porche..

Off thread a little...I put a 427w into a 928S 10 years back for a customer. We put in a cut down 9" rear and a richmond 4 speed in the car. It was a street car that he ended up racing for 3 years in NHRA as a 10.99 bracket car. I always liked that model and they sell for NOTHING. I would like to install a SHO 3.0 Twin Turbo kit in one which has been done before in a 944 but what a sweet ride.
