Default what a coincidence

so all this porsche searching and what not. well check this out. after work today i came home, and decided to take out my 09 cbr1000 to go get some dinner its pretty nice today here in southern nc. so at the stop light guess what kind of car pulls up to me. it was a 997 turbo. i couldnt tell which year, but the dood kept looking at me and reving his engine. looked like he was in his mid 30's, car sounded nice. he had some kind of exhaust work done. i was pretty jelouse since i aint got one yet and im looking for one. buuuut anyways looked like he wnated to race. and i was right as soon as it was green he stepped on the gas. now mind yall this is a long road with barely any stop lights, and all hte cars were behind us, nothing infront for at least a mile. so hit it on my bike, and smoked his ***. i got it to about 130 in 15 seconds or about that, now we were about the same speed, the porshce has some good pull, but it aint powerful enough mid way to beat a cbr. ill give it to him though he tried to keep up even with his turbo. anybody else own a 08-09 cbr1000? anybody race any bikes in their cars vice versa?

^I'm assuming there is a point here somewhere, other that the startling news that you beat a car with a moto, but darn if I can find it?

I have been reading your posts these past few days and I don't think you are quite ready for a Porsche. "Yall be happyer with a mustang"
I think most people here wouldn't think of doing speeds like that off track.

Even as novice rider I know that many bikes will smoke a sportscar. I've done some stunts as a kid but now I know better not to race a sportbike. Be safe.

This was concluded a few posts ago. Note also that he claims to be a young guy and a government employee... It speaks volumes.

Meanwhile, jump back in your jacked '76 Chebby Impala beater with 30"s.. and go find a Toyota Yaris forum to hang out in.

posting a forum on your street racing isn't a good idea on a mature forum such as this..

this isnt a psychiatric forum so everyone else please forgive me a few sentences...

what do you expect when you come on here acting like a child? i, for one, happen to think you know what you're doing and are just trying to get a rise out of people. it's actually kind of comical/entertaining to a degree (altho, even if you're self-unaware, it's more comical watching a human train wreck like that, so...win-win )

bottom line, if you're really here to get advice, share insight, learn about porsches, then stop being an ***. otherwise, stay on if you like but don't be surprised if you're treated as such.
