Damn bastards those Porsche owners. They seem to have serious issues with their manhood size.

Actually, seems to give Porsche owners a worse name.

Almost makes me want to register in the forum just so I can post the video footage of the Cooper S dusting all the Porsche's at Lime Rock.

And of course the "You've Just Been Dusted by a Clown Car" sticker.

Sounds to me that once he figures out what happen-that person will be a future MINI owner!

nobody has to prove nothing to P-car owners. Porches are faster than MINIs, and they handle as good as MINIs if not any better. That is what you get for paying $70K+. What that guy posted is very immature. What do you guys think would happen if similar post made by a Civic owner here on NAM? I am pretty sure he would get some good beating.

Your talking about Onasled Driving School video? That means nothing ... all the drivers are at different levels.

If, in fact, the story was true, the 997S driver could have left him in the dust cruising up to 180+ while the JCW choked at 142.

I'll let the definitive numbers speak for themselves ... .official best Ring times

7:59 --- 154.822 km/h -- Porsche 997 Carrera S,
8:11* -- 151,274 km/h -- Porsche Cayman S
8:55 --- 134.579 km/h -- Mini Cooper S Works,

Do you know how far back that MINI will be after one lap???

Even a VW with automatic beats a JCW MINI

8:52 --- 139.529 km/h -- VW Golf GTI DSG

The originators post was such a troll as to be pathetic.

read on DSG before calling it automatic (it shifts faster than Ayrton Senna ), technically it is not but yes, it is hard to understand. Anyways, there is a big tendency of MCS drivers to jump on my way, which i noticed over the past couple of months. I do not street race , but there is a lot of second hand MCSs in the hands of younger kids nowadays.

Ken,

Jim
On a porcupine, the ****** are on the outside .



I was driving a couple years ago through a VERY small town in Colorado calledTelluride, in my Mom's old Porsche Cayenne. The speed limit is like 15 everywhere in that "city", slow enough where a guy could run up to our window. He demanded us to roll down the window because he had two really funny jokes to tell us about Porsche's. He proceeded to tell us the one above, as well as another one that I can't really say on this board.

The whole thing was very strange, but then again, Telluride is very strange too .
