In really tight turns he had a little more traction i feel like, his back tires were HUGE....so he might have had me there..........SOOOOO my question is, has anyone else experienced going against a Porsche, particularly the Carrera 4 or any other models??? I happen to think the Z did very well, and I know this was highway driving as opposed to the track, but im interested to see if anyone else has stories about Z's vs Porsches.................

you are ultimate fail. get a civic and represent their crowd.

I would like to welcome the new member to the forum. I am glad we don't have endless unsubstantiated street race stories that don't prove anything because there are way to many variables. I am not surprised you were able to hang with a Carrera 4 but there are way to many factors on the street to compare the two cars. For this reason I am glad not to hear these types of stories.

I was also not aware we had so many perfect people in this forum.

Relax people we only drive a Nissan that starts at the same price as a nicely equipped honda accord. I have tracked, AutoX, Drag Raced all of my vehicles but nothing beats the thrill of a 10 car midnight Malibu Canyon Run for those of us that do things once or twice in our life that is not perfect.

All valid points and I'm also surprised he couldn't beat a Carerra 4. However, there are rules in this forum that you agree to when you join. That said...
