This is very, very, very cool -- great to see exactly what is happening. They use a 1975 Honda XR-75 engine for the video. Coincidentally, my brother bought a brand new XR-75 in 1975, I still remember that it was $407.06 back then.

Help ..... my 911 is a target! So sick of other vehicles trying to cut me off or tailgating. And I think I drive quite courteously. Seems like too often it is some macho man in a lifted peekup. This morning I'm in line to turn onto an on-ramp, and I slam on the brakes because some peekup suddenly jumps in front of me. Then it's a 2 lane on ramp that merges into one lane to join the freeway, and out of nowhere on my right some other peekup suddenly cuts me off after the lanes have merged. Oh great move, you just gained 1 second on me. Then while on the freeway I turn on my left blinker to pass him and start moving over, and he suddenly cuts in front of me to block me. Ouch, what a world, what world. Some of this behavior happens all the time. Think I need some missile launchers under the headlights.

Are people still jealous or hateful of Porsche drivers? I thought that meme died off in the '90s. Most peekups I see cost more than my car, so what is the big deal.

People are just stupid. Sometimes I think they just want to solicit a response, which is funny when you drive normal and they just look like more of an *******.

I always get the same demographics trying to race me from a stop light or on the highway.
douche bags in diesel trucksHerbs in Hondas
bozos in BMWs
morons in Mercedes

I just drive normally and they look even dumber

The internet would have you believe that the headlights alone would be enough to drive them away

I'm lucky that my car came from the factory with the missile option. Maybe it can be retrofitted. I think it was option code 007.
