In all seriousness, What your doing doesn't have anything to do with racing, car control or driving skill. Pushing a boxster to 150 on a public road is idiotic, I know the roads there and with all the twists and turns one lanes and blind corners and people out just admiring the view, you are going to kill someone. Please Stop. You may not have a racetrack but I'm sure SCCA has a solo program where you can compete and really learn how to drive the car. You are on a board with people who have spent years and decades learning to drive cars at the limit, most of which have seen the high side of 150 on the track and know what it takes to control a car at that speed on the edge on a track, and NONE of them would do it on the road.

Everyone who owns a Porsche enjoys a spirited drive, I don't know anyone who has one that adheres to "all" the posted limits, but the ones I know understand the limits of the car and most importantly their own...this little fantasy that challenging a soccer mom to a lane change is racing is juvenile no matter what your age. Besides your pissing off Gary...

I never said anything about Driving 150mph in Hawaii. The Porsche 150 mph club does use public roads, I just don't run with that crowd. I guess you are not a member or you would know that.

Only a beginner would think winning has anything to do with excessive speed. Winning is about finishing in front NOT going fast.

Only a beginner would think you could "win" anything on a public road...the point is ANY kind of street racing is moronic, and how can you consider that any kind of skill at all...are you 12? Does your mom know you took her car? What is the point?

But you do have to admit that it does happen. People do pass each other on the street.
