I was on my way home from work this evening. There is a path I take home that is great to do speed tests and has little traffic at this time of day.
I started to accelerate from about 70 MPH and in my rear view I saw what I looked like a new Boxter or 911 about 100 yards behind me and coming around a truck fast as if they we gunning for me.
I was at about 80 and I noticed he was really gaining right up until I broke 125 and from there I pulled away slowly and when I hit 145 I was 200 yards or more and he was slowing down. I slowed as well. Took my exit and noticed as he passed it was a 370Z . Any chance of this being a 928 Victory?

You drive a Porsche, you already won.

Yer about 30-35Hp taller than they are most likely.

Bout 260rwhp with no rice added.


In the end..he gets younger *****, you get -better- *****.

Umm 332hp and 3232lbs should beat the 928 all day....however I have found 928's tend to do much better in the "real" world than many other "superior" vehicles on paper....

You can't get horsepower from rice, whattaya thinkin?

From what I have researched about the 928, its performance really shines over distance and higher speed. Not so much out of the gate. Specifications are also marketing materials.

Then aint ground numbers, aint dont well match what people have dyno'd.

I had my *** handed to me in the GT by a 370Z a while back. But I'm a lousy driver. So I built a stroker to compensate. Still looking for round 2.

Over what distance and speed and was it from a dead or rolling start

Rob Edwards

From a stoplight we turned right onto a long gradual uphill grade, he decided we were racing so he got on it first, I kept up with him for a while up to maybe 70 or so, then he slowly pulled maybe a carlength up to about 100 at which point I backed off, 'cause like I said, I'm not a very good driver. Had we been on a level interstate with no traffic, I'd guess he would run out of steam before I would, but we weren't.

okay not to "brag"....but I have handed "asses" to many-many newer far more expensive rides in my bucket.....sure I can drive okay...but I am hardly a serious racer.... Don't believe me....ask Speedtoys (Jeff), Sean, Kibort or Anderson.....all have raced or driven it......

I must admit I LOVE teaching "ricers" a lesson...at the track they tend to be in Evo's....but its still fun!!!!

I don't know what an EVO 9 is ......but its almost too easy to turn better times than it at the track.... I'm bummed I called it a day early on March 6th after my overall race win and didn't turn anymore laps once the track dried out...which is the only time I "lost" to a 2:09.8 on the bypass when I have run 2:06.9 on the bypass

I think I can verify he would run out of steam or would be pushing really hard.

My dad pulled a couple cars on one in his stock lotus elise. A strong running 928 should be able to pull one at higher speeds.

i slowly pulled away from that new hyundai genesis coupe, once i got to 130 i pulled away really fast. It is reported that they are faster than the 370z.
