2002 996 turbo wouldn't move over dual carrige way and he was in the outside lane, so had to go up the inside well just far enough to show him we were quicker even the better half was ammused don't think the 911 owner was though !!!!! if I had been flat out we would have been through his back window
Best one was a BMW 3 series (no idea which buts odds are in favour of 318) on the M6. He slipstreamed me and was hanging on up to 140+, so at the earliest opportunity I moved across to see if he would pass. The rate at which he lost speed as soon as he was out of the slipstream was highly amusing - it looked like he'd deployed a parachute!
Same as 5ltvr all boxters in including carrera 4 and bmw z3m but did get smoked by a merc 500sl guy was on a death wish level with me ( opposite side of the road approaching a hump back bridge) his car left the road i backed off, good thing i did, on the other side of the bridge were to armed response vechiles having a rest in a garage ( well i am in south london ) they gave chase, he was dragged out and arrested, (i gave the it was nothihg to do with me officer innocent motorist line) where he looked at the car raised his eye brows gave me a formal caution and sent me on my way. gave the guy lying on the floor a little wave as i drove away....
I know I should have known better but I was young and foolish.... when I had my 400 I was on my way home down the M69 late on a Friday and a young chap in an escort turbo - lowered suspension, big exhaust, bells and whistles etc attached himself to my rear bumper (well very nearly). Being a gentleman I let him past then sat a safe distance behind him as he tried to loose me. Good job I was well behind him cos when his engine let go he slowed down very quickly indeed!, not to mention the shrapnel that came out from under his car!
I wasn't driving (having never owned a TVR), my old man was. Off the rev counter he worked out we were doing a genuine 152 or something foot to the floor. When I say the Cossie crawled past, I mean crawled. Chances are it wasn't quite standard. Hey ho though, we blew his doors off up to about 130...!

ROOP im gona put your attempt down to you werent trying hard enough ( well thats what i really want to believe) i saw a cossie on a video get totally slautered by an esprit,and there cant be that much in it between a lotus and a t.v.r.....

New M3, all Porsches (but not met 911 turbo yet), a clk amg 32 uphill on m25 yesterday from 65 - leave to you guess where we were by 5th - not sure what one of these is but when i slowed to let him pass thats what was on the back
Level pegged 360 modena
Seriously don't bother with the 996TT, when mine was standard I could leave Cerbera's, Tuscans, Griff's quite easily now I've got it upgraded
Safe driving

in a cerbera 4.2 had a very friendly guy in a porsche boxster s trying to see how many miles were on the clock by looking through the back window whilst driving up a duel carrage way.. did a few short bursts to put some safe distace between us( inside lane no other fraffic) but he was very friendly and insisted on trying to procerate with the back seats so I just thought I show him what to spend his money on next time,girlfriend agve him a little wave and we left him standing and looking like he'd just dropped an anchor out of the car..... slowed down a bit later and he crawled past us at about 65...., some people hey....can wait to have a play in the 500 when it arrived , must be close to 4.2 in performance.....
