Raced a cocky Boxster

It's like 10 at night, and I am on my way to a friends house. The roads are completely empty, not a car in sight. I stop at a red light, look both ways...nothing coming :disappoin . Was about to go thruogh it, seeing as in how I was probably the only person in the whole county out on the road. Then I look in my mirror, and see a car hauling ass behind me. The light goes green so he just flys past me. I get a quick glimpse of the car, its a Porsche Boxster convertible (top down), looked like 2 people were in it. I launch as fast as I can and get some tire spin, and try to catch up. The Porsche is doing about 60 or 70 (in a 45). Im doing as best I can to catch up to the guy, then I think he noticed me in his mirror and slowed down a bit. I was about 50 feet behind him and we both hit a light. I roll up next to him and give him a little rev and look over. There was a guy, late 20s early 30s, sitting at the wheel wearing a suite and a rather nice looking girl about the same age wearing a dress. He looks over at me like Im crazy :screwy: , so I rev it up again, this time to about 5k. He still looks at me like I'm crazy, and leans over and says something to his girl and she giggles and looks over at me. So I just put my gas to the floor and let my engine do the talking :smokin: . The guy gave a hesitant nod of consent, and smirked. The light goes green, we take off. I get a great launch with just a tiny tire squeek. By the end of 1st I already had a half a car length. By 2nd I was starting to walk away with it. I shift out of 2nd at about 5 grand, and by this time the Porsche is a few lengths back. I push my clutch in and lay down a nice rev for him one last time, give it some gas into 3rd and floor it. I look back and see the drivers face. In a word, priceless :iceslolan. He was blank with shock, and to top it off by the looks of it his girl was pissed. I guess he thought his car was fast or something...good thing it wasn't a Boxster S though, that car would roast me.

Cliffnotes:
Pull up to a porsche, some hot shot guy with his girl.
They think my car is slow and hesitantly race me.
I walk him.

smooth kill

Nice, it's not very day you get to race a Porsche.

yeah, just tryin to show off to his "hot date", but the boxsters arent that fast, but the S is pretty quick, but nice kill

Everyone who owns a Porsche seems to think they are the fastest things alive. I wonder why.

Nobody who owns a Porsche thinks they are the fastest things alive. They may drag race every once in awhile for fun, but a Boxster vs. a 5.0 isn't even a race. You shouldn't have walked him, you should have demolished him like he was standing still. When you get to the twisty parts of the road, however, is when the Porsche will eat your lunch. The Boxster won't even slow down for a turn you take in 2nd gear.

nice kill man

Porsche = handling

Mustag = straight line speed

Nice kill, though.

Everyone around here that owns a Porsche will swear up and down by its speed. They act like they own the road. But no, I can't hang with a Porsche in the twistys...but its Florida and there arent even 5 twistys in the whole state :disappoin

The boxster S will beat majority of cars on the road especially the new ones. People rag on them but I don't think most have raced the S model. I see a lot of the regular boxsters in WA hardly any S's. What do you have done to our 5.0 btw?

gotta love killing those ignorant guys that think they car is the sh*t because they payed like $50,000 for a car.

boxster = teh slow

even if that one wasnt the fastest i still want a 1987 RUF CTR...

Yup yup ... I hate boxters so not gonna stick up for it here :p

Can't wait to see the Cayman S though :eek: That thing is gonna rock.

Boxter's, both normal and S, never really wanted to play with me in the Z.

But, I did get an older lady and her friend in a 911 Carrera 4 to play a few times. She looked like an older Martha Stewart with the sun hat and flower print shirt... they were laughing and having a good ol time doing 80+mph.

I would too if I was in a Porsche 911...:D

Nice Kill.

The regular Boxter isn't that quick. I even beat one. I'd be scared to go up against the S though.. lol

cocky + boxter = cockster?

One of my fave kills, had a go against a few boxter "s", can beat them on the twisties too. Nice kill man, love showing those "poor mans Porsches" the way home. Diferent story against a 911 though.

hey hey enough with the porsche bashing =P. c'mon it's a beautiful car...its quick...but not "fast" by today's standards. dont really know about the base model but the boxster s hits 60 about as fast as a subi wrx. you are paying for the name porsche as the boxster is just the entry level car, i mean yea u can pay 21k for an srt4 or w/e and yea theyre just as fast...but when it comes down to it...its just a dodge...or a subaru...people are gona be lookin at the porsche when you're cruising around whether its slow or not ^.^

"cliff notes" ha! nice kill man.

Sorry but Boxsters are as common as muck over here, I couldnt show respect to a car that looks the same going backwards as it does forwards. what did the designers do, draw the front of the car get bored and use a mirror???? Porsche really let themselves down with the Boxster they should take the designers outside and beat them with a big stick, gimme the 911 shape anyday.

I fail to see the part where he was cocky/a hotshot. Sounds to me like he was just driving along with a hot girl (where you were alone) and you had to race him to make yourself feel better about driving alone. You had to really egg him on to get him to race (if he did at that). Also isnt your 5.0 stock? I doubt you could take a boxster stock for stock.

You don't think I can take a Boxster stock? Truth be told, I toy with stock boxsters. Also, I guess you failed to see how laughing at my car and refusing to race, and giving the implication that I am not worth his time cause Im slower is cocky.

whatever the opinion on the Boxter is I still think it was a very nice victory bro, and yeah I think he was being cocky, all porche owners are cocky! you have to be other wise they wont approve you!

EDIT: Meant to quote Habibus, not nialusa...sry

if you are stock, then he could've been a bad driver.

No, they are just slow. Aside from that, it was probably an auto anyway. Not much skill involved when your taking off from a stop light with an auto, just jam down the gas.

Btw, nice vid zackk.

yeah, i guess you could say that, but when i was stock i was always under the impression that they could beat me. I ran a 15.2 at the track, what do you think your stang runs?

thanks for the compliment, i still got a couple bugs to work out of that thing.... like an exhaust. but its hard to find a 2.5 " for a 96 4door gsr.

I saw a slip of mine running a 13.8. The guy I bought it from showed me. Only thing I know it has is a stage 3 bronze clutch and cold-air intake (just isntalled that last week). So the guy is probably just a great driver and ran on slicks, along with good track conditions and some high octane fuel. Either that or I have a freak.

thats a fast ass nearly stock 5.0

I very seriously doubt that a 5.0 can run 13.8 with just a CAI and a clutch. Aren't they like low 15/high 14's stock? A slip means nothing, I can goto the track and grab an 11 second slip.

14.7 stock.

I also have exhaust and a chip, althought that still doesn't add all too much power.
