Ls1(N/A) Vs Porsche GT3 (Not pretty)

So I'm driving around in my Camaro, which I hadn't done in a long while since I have been driving my uncle's motorcycle around trying to get some motorcyling skills under my belt (going to buy a Hayabusa soon). Anyways, so I'm just cruising around town with the tops off, enjoying the nice warm night, when I see a big Porsche wing in front of me. Nice! I think to myself as I catch up slowly to him. I look on the back and see it is a GT3. Me and the guy get caught at a stop light next to each other, and I gesture for him to roll his window down. I notice it is an older man, maybe 40-50. So I figured we had a while before the light turned green, so I start a conversation with the guy.

Me: Nice car!
Him: Yeah, thanks, just got it a few weeks ago.
Me: Right on. You want to race?
Him: Yeah, sure. Is that a V8 or a V6?
Me: It's a V8, just installed my nitrous, but my bottle hasn't gotten filled yet (no pun intended)
Him: Right on, so we gonna' go on green?
Me: Nope, I'm gonna smash into these cars in the intersection as fast as I can (here's your sign).
Him: Huh? (With a confused look on his face)
Me: Nothin' go on green.
Him: Okay, good luck.

So at this time I am wishing my bottle was filled because I could have really used that extra 150HP seeing as how I was racing a $100,000 Porsche.

So I turn my traction control off and get ready for the biggest ass-whipping of my life at the hands of some old man who has probably never taken the car above 60 miles an hour. I rev up and wait for the light to strike green.

Once the light hit green, I proceed to slip the clutch. I figured my only chance at getting any kind of lead on this guy would be out of the hole. Sure enough, I gain a very slight lead on the guy out of the hole. I assumed his traction control was on, or he bogged, because he zoomed past me faster than Michael Jackon on his way to a little league tournament. Once he put a car on me, I just stopped, figuring it wasn't worth my time.

I turned into a McDonald's parking lot and decided to drown my sorrows in a delicious fruit and yogurt parfait.

Man, I wish my car wasn't so slow:banghead:

My neighbor has one of those. They're so crazy.

They are very cool cars. Sexy as hell and very fast... I would I would have ran him with the bottle though....

From what i've seen in the rags Porsche most likely underrated their horsepower, cause the GT3 is faster then a C5 Z06, despite having 25hp less, and being almost the same weight.

I wouldn't feel ashamed to lose to it, even with the nitrous on. I believe they run low 12's stock.

Nice loss. Those are beautiful cars. Some kid at my last job brought his dad's in, to detail it. Needless to say, after playing plenty of San Andreas, temptation was great.

just a little off topic but I just want to know why you want a busa as a first bike.......

Man, I wish my car wasn't so slow:banghead:

[Lil Jon]Whhhaaat![/Lil Jon]

Slow, he was just fricken fast. :grinno:

It was an honorable death.

The new 997 GT3's make 415hp from the I believe the 3.8L Flat-6... So, they make more than a C5 Z06.

They certainly are one badass car... just ask Igor about them... he races against them in his GT-R in the World Speed Challenge.

Ummmm.... Something about it being the fastest things on wheels just calls to me... It won't be my first bike though. I will probably buy a CBR600 and ride around on that until I get good, not that it is that much less of a death wish...

I do realize that I will kill myself on the Hayabusa. There is no doubt in my mind, and I am dead serious, that I will die while on that bike. I'm not gonna' be like everyone else and say "oh, I won't crash". I realize full well that this bike will be the end of me... Hopefully it just happens later rather than sooner.

Atleast you realize it. I bet you'll see that GT3 again. Pretty hard car no to miss, right? Be sure to have the bottle strapped and waiting next time you cruise around...or just stalk the guy, find where he lives, set up a camera, so when you see him take out the car, you're ready...not that I have ever done that or anything...:uhoh:

Yeah I'm sure I'll see him again. Especially given the small size of the town I live in. Hopefully next time I run him I'll have my cam installed and my bottle filled....

I was referring to the old GT3. I wasn't aware that the new one came out yet. I thought it wasn't coming until 2007?

fast yes it is but to say its the fastest no its not......the kawasaki zx-12R eats that bike up for breakfast....and the new zx-14 that came out this year is now the fastest production bike out with close to 190hp to the wheels and it could corner like a 600cc bike....I dont know if you know anything about bikes but the busa is a sport touring bike and is only good straight line....a 600cc bike out eat that up in the twisties....and yes you are right on another thing you would kill yourself if you get something like that...

wasn't there like this bike called the tomahawk that was faster than the dodge viper? or something like that?

Most sport bikes are faster then Dodge Vipers, the tomahawk was a wierd 4 wheeled motorcycle-esque vehicle that had the Viper's engine.

I'm pretty sure that the 996 GT3 did not have traction control, so the driver must have bogged. Clutches arn't cheap when the come from Germany.

Buy a GSX750. I've heard alot of people speak accolades about those bikes. I believe they're not much slower then the Busa, and they are alot easier to hit corners with, being lighter and all.

If I had the money i'd buy a Honda CBR600F4i.

yea, that's what i was trying to remember about the tomahawk, I've never seen those bikes on the road, ever. Are they even street legal?

Nah I don't know much about bikes, but I was under the impression the Busa is still the fastest bike (in a straight line). Plus I think the Busa is the sexiest bike of all time... But that's just my opinion.

Ummm it wasn't a production bike... it was a concept only, just so they can say 'they did it'.

ah, now i understand, i didn't know it was a concept.

yeah it had the viper engine in it but its not street legal from what i heard.

Mostly cause it wasn't rideable... sure we've seen the small clips of a test rider putting around a lot on it. But it's just too extreme to be riden.

oh yea, that's right, that bike wasn't topped off because the wind force was just too much, it was no way to top off the bike, unless there was like some super wind shield.

Nope, it was a naked design... no fairing at all. I remember they claimed it had the power to do "250mph" or something rediculous.

But, you try and hold on to this at those speeds.

Stupidest thing ever...
http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html


EDIT: I guess Chrysler did produce a small number of them for folks who were dumb enough to buy it... even though they're not road legal... ...

the tomahawk is a novalty bike that has 500hp from the viper V10. it also has 4 wheels. the bike technically isn't road legal, but it functions perfectly.

Does Jay Leno have one, something tells me he does.

Nah I don't know much about bikes, but I was under the impression the Busa is still the fastest bike (in a straight line). Plus I think the Busa is the sexiest bike of all time... But that's just my opinion.

Meh, not me. I think the Busa's are the ugliest bike out there. The rear fender how it curves is just butt ugly. I would keep the CBR and never look back unless I was getting a 1000. But as said, those 600's are simply kick ass in the twisties and IMO would be way more fun to ride.

But anyway, nice death. Never really stood a chance.

I like how everyone is like oh congrats on your new LS1 and great races when 98StangGT says he has one with no pics. And then when Musashi gets the GTO and takes a picture of it everyone is like BS and you have to do "such and such" otherwise were calling BS. I mean, WTF!? Why the double standard? Has 98StangGT posted pics that I dont know about or is it still just trusting the words you see on your screen. And Stang: I'm not saying you don't have one, I just think its kind of F*#!ed up how two different people are treated so differently.

Man, I wish my car wasn't so slow:banghead:
rofl! that was a great story dude, but seriously nice death. I really want to race one of those, there are a lot of turbo'd & gt3's in palm springs. A lot of boxers that I want to stomp on for fun too! Anyways, I know I would lose hard too aren't those cars mid 12's stock?

I remember a porche carrera gt playing with a dodge neon r/t 95-99 body, but i couldn't keep up to see how it ended, even though i have no doubt in my mind that porsche smoked that r/t. I just my power steering in my last car didn't go out. I really wanted to see that race.:crying:

Wait, are the GT3's naturally aspirated???

That would be correct.

That would be correct.


Oh, for some reason I thought they were Turbo'd.

The 997 Carrera Turbo, or simply the Turbo, just came out... along with the new 997 GT3.

It makes some 480hp out of its 3.8L Flat-6 Twin turbo mill... with AWD to harness it all. It's a force to be reckoned with, not to mention a 'overboost' button that allows 20 seconds of excessive boost to bring her above 500hp... you know, for passing that slow moving Ferrari ahead of you on the Autobahn. :thumbsup:


As the commercials used to say... Porsche, there is no substitute.

Oh, for some reason I thought they were Turbo'd.

Me too, so which 911's are the turbo'ed ones, I know some are, is there any way to tell by badging like the GT2, GT3, Carrera S, or what.

Oh wait I think I remember seeing one that said "Turbo S" on the back, is that the only 911 that comes turbo'ed??

Dammit why does Porsche have to have all these damn models within models, it gets confusing as phuck.

The 997 Carrera Turbo, or simply the Turbo, just came out... along with the new 997 GT3.

So are all Carrera's 911's or are all 911's Carrera's, is the 997 a Carrera or just a completely different model. for some reason I can never understand Porsche's lineup, they need to make it easy like Nissan did with the Skyline, GTS, GTS-T, GT-R, that I get, but when it comes to Porsche I'm :confused:

This has the history of the 911 up untill the 996, which was last generation of 911.

It's the easiest way to get basic knowledge of the car... bam! Google search owns you. ;)

so your calling bs on him......hmmmmm....why would you do such a thing..

Cause that's how AF soap opera works... there's a lul in action then BAM... somebody calls :bs: and we all go OH SNAP!

And it irons itself out...


Then the cycle rinses and repeats itself as desired... as indicated by the back of the AF shampoo bottle.

It's the easiest way to get basic knowledge of the car... bam! Google search owns you. ;)

I'm always getting owned, hahah.

So would it be safe to say that the that Carrera 911 is the equivalent of Skyline BNR and 993/996/997 is the equivalent of 32/33/34.

I can't read the website right now cuz I have to wake up early tomorrow but I bookmarked it and will read it tomo.

Yeah, you've basically got it...

Any Porsche older than the 993, would be like... a Skyline R31 or the older KPGC10's.:wink:

Okay I think its making more sence now, so that would mean the GT2, GT3, (4)S, is equivalent to GTS, GTS-T, GT-R?? I'm hopin yes, then it'll make even more sence, if its not ill just see what i can get out of that website tomo, something to look forward to, maybe I'll hit up Starbucks or something and do some reading.

More or less, yes...

well thank god for real people and selsen blue....:iceslolan

so your calling bs on him......hmmmmm....why would you do such a thing..

No, I am not calling BS on him. I was just pointing out how everyone was calling BS on Musashi when he said he bought a GTO and even took a pic of it. And the when 98StangGT said he had a Camaro everyone just accepted it. If you read my post you will see that I said" I'm not saying you don't have one".

Theres a great Top Gear clip where Jeremy tries to explain the Porsche 911 lineup.

This is how the 996 generation looked like-
911 Carrera- base model, n/a, rwd
911 Carrera S- just like the base model, but with a bigger engine and stiffer suspension
911 Carrera 4- same engine as the Carrera, but with AWD
911 Carrera 4S- same engine as the Carrera S, but with AWD
911 GT3- n/a 381hp 3.6l, RWD
911 Turbo- turbocharged, AWD, 415hp
911 Turbo S- just like the regular Turbo but a little stronger
911 GT2- turbocharged, RWD, 485hp

The 997 lineup looks about the same except with no Turbo S or GT2 (yet), and a bit more power.

I was being sarcastic....I agree....no pics no believe....and Im the crazy one...jezz...and to this day I havent seen one of his cars yet....

i'd show you my car, but it's just not worth looking at just yet :). except for the rims which is really hard to keep clean.

I was being sarcastic....I agree....no pics no believe....and Im the crazy one...jezz...and to this day I havent seen one of his cars yet....


I haven't either. I would think with all this money of his he could be a frickin digital camera. And then he could even modify that like everything els he has: Greddy super speed shutter, 90x zoom, aftermarket push button, etc.

for all you know he could have a srt4 :grinyes:

Nah. I assure you I'm not gay...

Nah. I assure you I'm not gay...


And with that touch of cockyness... Pics please.:wink:

Pics or ban...noone here has seen your cars...any of them. And dont give us I dont care whether a bunch of guys on a forum think because we know you do since your on here almost daily. So why no take a few snapshots. Lets get one with the words "told ya" on a piece of paper on the drivers side window and a picture of you next to the car with one hand giving a thumbs up and the other a thumbs down. Then we will believe you. Otherwise, yes, I am officially pulling out the BS flag.

I'm taking bets on this if anyone wants to throw down a wager on whether or not he'll do it.

I'm taking bets on this if anyone wants to throw down a wager on whether or not he'll do it.

I'll say he'll say he doesnt have time to or doesn't fell like posting pics(tired, battery dead, don't have my camera, host isn't working)

Then everyone will start calling him out.

Then he'll say he doesn't care if we believe him or not.

Then there will be a fight, a ban, and then he'll come back and post a vid of his 10 sec. pass, a scan of the timeslip, and a pic with the "told ya" on a piece of paper on the drivers side window and a picture of him next to the car with one hand giving a thumbs up and the other a thumbs down.


OH, and if he doesn't get his 10 second pass, we'll never see the the Z28, he'll sell it and buy a Cobra and shoot for 9.5's.

camera phone?

He'd need a Bluetooth computer and phone or a USB adapter, cuz no one likes paying 50 cents to send a email to themselves.

doesnt cost me anything!?

send pic to my hotmail, save it to the computer and post it on here...

Really, who's your provider, I know my friend has to pay for every email that has a picture attached to it.

ok this is getting retarded, why does he have to post a pic anyway? i suppose i should go ahead and post a pic of my mustang too, since i never have.
