So my dad comes home from work the other day and tells me he has somethin that'll smoke my 7's ***. The 345hp Carerra 4 (if thats even how its spelled.) I took a look at it, it was damn nice thats fo sho. Anyways I asked for a ride. It was tough to decide whether or not it was quicker cuz the thing had aabsolutely no torque. You could be gunning it and gracefully serving tea to your passenger at the same time. So we get back and I tell him we should go run em. We drive out to lawndale (a 3 mile straitaway street by my house) and line em up at the stop sign. I honked three times and we're off. The porche loses traction and before it can get goin im 3 cars ahead and pullin away. Easy win. We turn around and line em up again. This time the porche grabs off th line, but my launch was just plain better. I win by about 1/2 car. We take one more run at it and this time he gets the better launch and I'm able to keep my nose at his rear bumper. I dunno 2 out a 3 aint bad against a carerra 4 when it puts down 100 more hp than me. I had the weight advantage.
