So I was jumping on the Mass Pike today ( for those of you who dont live in Boston, MA, this is the main highway) and I drove right up next to a fairly new Porsche Carrera 4. The guy looked at me and smirked and floored it..........being a new Z owner and wanting to "represent" I followed in pursuit. I typically am not the kind of driver to do this, but after hitting high speeds, I was VERY surprised to see that I kept up with this Porsche very easily. 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.................
I used to crush Porsche Carrera's all the time but not with my Z.....I did it with my 2003 Mustang Cobra Terminator. It gave me the greatest pleasure to hand the smug-azz owners of those cars their azz on a platter. And to rub it in I used to give them a head start and then wave bye-bye while going by them. I hated those smug sons-of-bitches worse than I did Vette owners.

I don't beleive a naturally aspirated 370Z or 350Z would ever beat a Porsche straight-line or in slaloms....at least not without better tires and some help from forced induction.

I will concede however that a Z owner could hang near one enough that it wouldn't ever be an absolute total cakewalk for the Porsche.
