The ultimate humiliation. GTO vs CTT.

Nothing like validating every low-life that has the "tiny weenie" syndrome around a Porsche.
I acknowledge that a lot of average people act like idiots around the Cayenne or anything sporting the badge. But to "race them" just shows that you give a damn about their miserable "Pontiac" or whatever ridiculous thing they are driving.
When I was in my 20's, I had a Trans Am. My kingdon for a d*ckless moron in real car that was intimidated by me and would race me. Thank God they still exist, based on this thread.
Mature people realiize that most drivers of real cars don't even acknowledge the existence of these fools, unless they are having flashbacks of some (negative) high school experience for which they finally want to make amends. I hope blowing away Pontiacs, PT-Cruisers, pickups, and other absolutely silly machines will make life better for those with issues.

Not that I need to justify my actions to you. For the so called race, call it what you like but there was no contest. It was just me accelerating and him following.
I have been driving Porsche's for nearly 30 years I have everyone and their uncle trying to race me especially in my 94 turbo and 99% of the time I just laugh and let them go on their way. Every now and then one comes along that is such a jerk you just have to put them in their place and this was one. I could care less what the end result would have been or what car he was driving. I did find it interesting the CT did better than I expected and thought I would share. There was nothing unsafe about what I did and at the moment this guy needed to be humiliated.

What's really funny is I just did the same thing to a CTT in NJ last weekend. Standing at a two lane stop light, he thought he could take me before the one lane merge. By the time we got to the merge I was 6-8 car lengths ahead. And I was in a Diesel.

At 400 + hp I figured the GTO would be faster than it was. I wasn't concerned about he ticket. I have driven this road everyday for over 25 years and there are never any cops. I still don't condone it but it was funny to see how humiliated he was after driving so recklessly. I only did it because there were no cars for the entire distance of road we played on. I have driven the autobahn at speeds of over 155mph sustained for periods up to 7 hours so I am no stranger to speed.
I have ripped them in the 951 thinking the same as you expecting them to be a lot faster.

The original post suggests that it was funny that a CTT made the manhood of the GTO driver shrink. My TDI really made the manhood of the CTT driver shrink.
What's also funny is that the GTO and CTT get less than 15 mpg. I get over 23.

To put it in perspective my CTT will do 0-60 in just under 5.0 seconds the TDI takes a little under 7.

A stock Touareg V10 tdi will smoke (literally and figuratively) a CTT off the line:

Mine is OCT flashed with 670 ft-lbs.

by your enjoyment. If the other party wasn't on it and let you pass him than you technically didn't smoke anything unless it was a joint. I have had my CTT side by side with my friends V10 TDI and I can assure you although fast it is not in the same league as a CTT.In order to have smoked a CTT you would need to both be at WOT and one obviously out accelerates the other. That is not what your describing here. This is like the guy in the lowered Corolla with big canister exhaust that sits on the tail of my turbo at 80 mph and I move over to the right lane and let him by and he thinks he just dusted a Porsche. In fact I wouldn't even need to down shift and get on boost to leave it miles behind. BTW the TDI also tops out at 150 mph far below the top speed of a CTT. hate to burst your bubble but there is just no way a 7 second second Diesel is going to leave a 5 second Twin turbo 6-8 car lengths behind off the line unless the other party allowed it. Now if you are moving side by side at speed the torque of the TDI would help it to keep up but from experience I know the CTT is still faster.
