02 Porche Carera vs VR4

a friend of mine died yesterday at 2am. he flew through his window, no seatbelt
well anyway i was coming back from the hospital were my other buddy who was also in the car was at.
and as i merge on the freeway, there it goes the new bodystyle porche wich had the words carrera on the back and dual exhaust with a wing.

he suddenly hits it and i follow. were swerving through traffic and i'm right on his butt.
though i keep letting off the gas a little bieng as safe as possible, i still manage to keep up with him. he comes to a dead end and were both behind some slow moving car thats actaully doing the speed limit .
once that person moves he guns it and so do i. if i would have had another lane i would have taken him because i almost ran into the back of him 3 times. finally we come behind another faithfull driver and i get on the side of him, psssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and i coast away.

You'd think having your buddy die due to a wreck because of no seatbelt would cause you to keep off the throttle for a while.


Guess not?...



Fuckin Boost Junkies... yer all trash!









Sorry to hear about your friend, just keep it safe will ya?

Sorry to hear about your bud, VR4... there is nothing like venting-out by going WOT in your own car... but take heed to the rest of the fellas... BE SAFE, YA DOPE. Take care!

Re: 02 Porche Carera vs VR4

So what the heck is the difference between a Carrera and a 911? Is the Carrera a cheaper model? I've seen Carrera, Carrera Turbo, 911, 911 Turbo, written on the back of those cars but I have no clue whether its one of the extremely fast ones or the not so fast.

Wow man that is nuts. If I lost a friend due to him dying in an auto accident, I don't think i'd race for awhile (Like several months). Good kill, but man you are nuts.

Re: 02 Porche Carera vs VR4

Pretty much all same year carreras/911s are within a few 10ths of each other, the fastest being the regular coupe and the slowest the cabriolet. The turbo is naturally the fastest.

Nice job, YoungVR4. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. My condolances.

Re: 02 Porche Carera vs VR4

of course the cabriolet's gonna be the slowest, it's heavier...
911's are cool...
So are VR4's...
Porsche = fahrvergnuegen!

all the porsches are 911. but there are different levels of 911's.

the carrea being the cheapest and slowest

then the carrea 4 is a awd carrera

then the carrera 4S is a pretender 911 turbo. its got the same body work but minus the side intakes found on the turbo model. but has a 350 hp engine

the 911 turbo. the AWD 425 turbo model with the side intakes and adjustable rear wing

the 911 GT2. the fastest of the 911's. it has about 450hp rear wheel drive, light weight. and can do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and can run a 11.9 in the 1/4

the 911 GT3. the fastest carrera ever. its striped down non turbo with 380hp. rear wheel drive. its just as quick as hte 911 turbo in straight line but will out handle it in the corners.

good kill youngvr4. but who da hell drives without wearing a seat belt? i can't stand that. i feel soo unsafe without it on.
