Well I was cruizing on the highway around 75-80MPH and I see this yellow C5 Vette Spyder come up on me real fast. The problem was I didnt see him until he had already slammed the gas so from the get go I was playing catchup. I guess when I down shifted into 4th I was doing around 75mph while he was around 85mph, when I guned it I started to real him in for a few seconds then we stayed in the same position the whole time up until around 140mph when we shut them down. I was real suprised to say the least that I could be almost identical with a C5 vette. The guy later pulled over and we chatted for a while and I asked him what year and he said it was a 2003 C5 vette with just an exhaust upgrade. I said thats a fast car it really gave my 4 banger a run for its money! LOL he was like 4 banger? I said yep. He was like well yours is a Porsche thats why. I laughed and said I'll catch him later. I'm sure most ofyou already know my mods and have seen my previous videos so I won't bother listing them again. It would have been cool to real his *** in but I guess you can't when them all right? Maybe if we started at the exact same time the ods would have been much better. I was running around 15psi of boost on this run.

We get more bang per cylinder than that V-8!

Yeah because your 4 cylinder is turbo charged. If the C5 was turbo charged it would make much more power per cylinder than a 951.

Bash the Vette all ya want, I had a C5 Convertible 6sp and than a Z06 to play with for a couple of weekends.
Sure they rattle and will never hold up like a Porsche BUT they make up for it because they are FUN FUN FUN! Is that not what a sports car is all about?
I could not get the grin off my face in the Z06![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
And trust me I am a die hard Porsche elitist!
