I am not sure it was even a race, but I was behind him at a light. He had been driving aggressively and figured he might try and go. Light turns green and he takes off but it wasn't until around 20 mph that I really hear him gun it. I remained behind him, ready. As soon as he went I floored it. Luckily he switched to the left-hand lane at the same time or else I might have ran into the back of him. At around 75 mph I let off and looked around trying to find him but he had dissapeared behind me somewhere.

Those can be a tough one. I was with a friend of mine in his 02 S on a four-lane highway when we came across a Carrera 4S....he got his ass handed to him.

Was it a hardtop? My friend has an auto C4 vert and its an absolute dog. A 300whp S2k shouldnt have any problems with an NA 996, unless its a GT3.

Agreed. S/C will hand that it's ass!

If it's a 355 hp C4S Anniversary with X51 package I believe, it should be very close with the edge to this car!

Correction, the previous generation (996) Anniversary Edition had the 345 hp X51 package. If it is a new Carrera 4S it either has the "regular" 355 hp 3.8L engine, or the Club coupe/X51 has 381 h1 hp for the newest iteration. A 320 hp 996 is more than a match for anything short of a FI'ed S2K. With FI you can match fenders with a Carrera S (3.8L 355 hp) & depending on tune still be ahead.

I worked with someone with a 4s, I ran him from a 2nd gear roll and pulled a few cars on him easy.

4Slow, nice kill. The look on a 911 driver's face is always priceless.

About the same as when the kid with a 4000 dollar mustang dusts your S2000? Newsflash, most of us don't associate our penis size with the speed of our cars. As such seeing a cheaper car go faster doesn't make our faces do strange things, much to the dissapointment of afformentioned folks I would imagine.

That said, a 993 C4 was capable of mid 13's -- not really that much worse than most blown S2000's -- sad as that is. The 996's were a bit faster towards the end, more than capable of running similar times than your average blown S2k -- and in all probability out pacing them from higher speeds to the final velocity which was of course higher too.

That is of course if this story was true in the first place. Odds are it isn't as this was the first post by someone who is more than likely some zit faced 13 year old kid with one hand on his wang.

steve c has such a telling way of putting things in perspective, and I agree wholeheartedly with him on this one........
