Hey Guys,

I've recently just raced this guy in his stock 2008/9 Porsche Carrera S.... he told me it was a 3.8 flat six

and 'auto'.

But yeah I was just wondering how i ended up beating this guy over this 400m /ish track from standstill??

By time i got to the end and was braking, i was roughly about 2-3car lengths infront... I mean he was giving his Porsche a good

going, i head it behind me.. and it chirping as it changed gears from 1-2 and even 3rd?!

'also note.. this was all done in a controlled enviro too,'

p.s admin if this needs to be moved/removed please do 'so sorry in advance'

Clearly granny shifting and not double clutching like he should........

Ahhh double clutching, incredibly important, especially with todays synchro gear boxes. And you just can not stress enough how important it is to double clutch in an auto or tip-tronic car, absolutely vital.

Lol, i love fast and furious dramatism

350 - 375 hp at the crank,

less 30% loss pf power between crank and rear wheels, a bit more for the AWDs.

I was talking KW's.

I think the Carrera has a viscous diff also?

HAHAHA! Beat me to it ;) Probably blew the welds on his intake manifold?

Carerra S would win hands down on this one. Problem is, guy either doesn't know how to drive it or is affraid to drive it to it's full potential.

There is one other thing to take into account here guys....

what was the road surface like? if rough with stiff springs then he would not get great traction and not use the power...

was the road slightly wet? near oil at all?

tyres any good?

there is too much to say who and why someone would win... i have beaten supercharged big blocks to peoples surprose purely down to traction issues with too much power for the road we were on...

In controlled conditions, not on public roads of course? :)

    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

    • It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
