Space Ace Member 446 Member For: 20y 2m 27d Location: Melbourne, Victoria Posted 04/04/07 07:34 AM Share Posted 04/04/07 07:34 AM Had a run against one last night on a private road that my mate Bracksy owns. Anyway, my T is stock and I'm not sure what numbers they put out, but we where pretty much nose to nose up until 80k's when I started to pull away. He didn't bother after that...

The reason I ask this is that I've managed to kill cars that I thought I shouldn't - a Maloo was a recent victim...either way I'm happy...I should get it dynoed one day to see how much it is pumping out...

dingah2 Crusty aviator Member 846 Member For: 20y 9m 27d Gender: Male Location: ACT Posted 04/04/07 08:01 AM Share Posted 04/04/07 08:01 AM I have some local experience of these and only a Boxter S should provide any degree of challenge and even then - on the straight bits you should be able to pull him off.Bends or above 200kph the Porsche will show its pedigree.Great little cars the emphasis being on little - room enough for a toothbrush but a great chassis.Dingah Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33873-anyone-here-run-against-a-porsche-boxter-s/#findComment-517288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
