my porsche 951 race stories...
 

hevquip from a giraffes throat on 2001-10-01 21:47 [#00038196]



i have a porsche 951 (944 turbo). currently it is stock, but
it's fast. on saturday, coming home from watching
"zoolander" with a friend, we decided to drive around for
awhile and find out where the high school homecoming dance
was so we could yell at the kids waiting to get into the
dance and look at the hot chicks in dresses. we cruised by
the school briefly and began to head towards the golf course
because it's a pretty long road out there and i wanted to
drive around. on the way, a little bit passed the high
school, i see a car zipping around behind me looking like he
wants to race. i hear the guy downshift aways behind me
because it's some loud hickmobile GTO (my friend james said
that's what it was. i'm not too keen on muscle cars) with
edelbrock stickers coating it and also it's primered of
course with no bumpers and it's rusting, but we'll call that
a "weight reduction" in their favor. so the guy downshifts
and tries to catch up when i throw it into second and gain
some good distance quickly, and in my mind, enough distance
to know that he's beat and that i'm much quicker. there was
a car in my lane, so i threw on the brakes and changed lanes
to go past them, but not too fast because i don't want any
"concerned" citizens calling the police on me. i get back
into my lane after passing and once again the hick
downshifts and starts to drive past me into a good right
bend. the bend is kind of blind because there's a hill on
the right obstructing the view of what's up ahead. i
downshift to second again and start to catch up in the bend,
where my car handles much, much better. i watch the GTO
hover into the opposing lane a little bit with massive
amounts of horrible body roll. i wasn't going to pass him
though because his car had poor handling and i didn't want
to wreck into him if he ended up crashing. as we come out of
the turn, i decide to pass, but i have to lay off as he
comes into my lane, confusing me as to whether or not he's
getting in my lane, or overcompensating for his understeer.
he stays in his lane and i start gaining on him when my
friend yells "saturday night cops!" because we were about to
pass a gas station where they hang out, but not this night.
after the gas station, there's a short hill with ridges
that's fun to do going fast. i brake quickly because i can't
see down over the hill, but when it's clear, i get back on
the throttle, passing the guy again. now we've made it out
at the golf course where i start to drive at a legal speed,
until the hick decides to run again. this time i keep it in
fourth gear (third would've been better), but i pulled on
him much better than i expected in fourth and got around
100mph probably, when a car was in my lane again and i got
on the brakes real hard, except they weren't working!
horrible seeing that they're not anti-lock either, so they
should've locked up, but they must've been damn hot. i was
pretty much standing on them coming up on the car quick!
thankfully, the hick decided to do a fly by allowing me to
get into his lane. my friend thought he heard sirens, so we
turned down into a residency and a cemetary where we turned
around and went to the skateboard park to eat some taco
bell. it's pretty damn fun to beat a car with more
horsepower and torque.

i raced a bmw m3 on sunday. i presume it's a 2001 model. it
happened on the way to my grandma's house so i could eat
some cake my mom made. i was at a stop light when the m3
drives by in front of me, where i immediately took interest
because he was going a little faster than the speed limit. i
wasn't sure what model it was yet, buy my sister was with me
and she said that she had seen it before and that it was an
m3 (the fastest model bmw makes, unless the m5 is faster). i
knew that i probably wouldn't win, but i wanted to see if he
was a typical cocky bimmer owner. in my opinion though,
people that own m3's and m5's are usually interested in
going fast, so i figured he might be up for a race. anyway,
i get the green arrow and turn left and get on a road that's
pretty straight and goes through los alamos national
laboratory. i go a little faster than the speed limit so i
can catch up to him. he gets to the end of the straight away
where you can turn 90 degrees left or 90 degrees right. he
goes left through the corner and takes off fast out of it,
so i knew he enjoyed speed as much as i do. i catch up to
him down the road aways where i pass him on a straight away.
there's one more car in front of me that i later pass down
the road some with him still behind it. we go down through a
small canyon hill and i'm cruising like normal when i get to
the bottom of the hill and i look back to see if he was
going to chase me down because the hill opens to a long
straightaway. as soon as i look back, i see him pass the car
he was behind on a solid line. i said to myself "cheater!,"
but not in a real serious manner, more of "alright. this guy
wants to race." he was probably around 7-8 cars behind me,
so i threw it into third, except the shifter bounced back.
so i missed third and i knew i'd be screwed. i got it into
third at about the time he flew by me. i mashed the go pedal
down all the way down in hopes of catching up, even though
he got a massive lead because of the missed shift. it seems
as if when i got it into fourth, i gained...very slowly, so
i speculate that he may have let off the gas some. i catch
up to him down the road though because there were three cars
up ahead and that's were i got behind him. he decides to
pass even though there's not much visibility because there
is a right bend then a left bend and on the left side of the
road there's a short canyon wall that obstructs your view of
oncoming traffic. i'd just use him as my eyes though by
watching to see if he'd make and sharp movements or braking
for oncoming traffic. i get on the gas right behind him and
stick with him pretty well as we pass the "slow" cars at
around 90-100 mph. when we get passed the cars and back into
the proper lane, we kind of slow down and cruise. i stayed
behind him because doing a fly-by would be a gay ricer thing
to do and we get stopped at the stop light where we were
both turning left. i saw him in his driver side mirror and
he looked like he was in his 30's. the light turns green and
i had my rpms up just in case he wanted to take off quickly,
but he didn't. down the road he turned off to a gas station
and i proceeded to my grandma's for cake. i told my mom
about the race and she said he won because of experience. he
did of course, but he also had a faster car. i wish i didn't
miss third though because that was the most important moment
of the race and i would've been going about 80mph instead of
55mph.

what are the specs on the new m3's? such as hp, q-mile,
topspeed, torque, 0-60?

Did you just ask God to bless the drunk driver who killed
your "friend" (aka Mother)?


 

Sean Penn on 2001-10-02 03:37 [#00038272]



"not too long ago by a drunk driver {god bless}"

You said God bless the driver, not your dead "friend," you
asked God to bless the driver. But really, if you sit back
and think about it, it really is funny, I mean your mum was
been killed in a car crash and you ask God to bless the
drunk driver, you some funny man.

How long go did she die, do you think if I dug her up she'd
still be moist?


 

Sean Penn on 2001-10-02 03:47 [#00038282]



Four weeks ago, she'd still be moist, the ground is probably
loose too. I'll take some cooking fat and whipped cream
incase, you know. I hope i'm the first, I hate loose as a
good corpse pussy, that's just sick, I don't think I'd fuck
her if another necrophilliac got to her first.
