Right here we go then...after reading the post about the GTO it's got me on a roll.

 

All you guys out there who have whooped a Boxster in yer Z, great but you need to listen to this.

 

Porch make two guises of Boxster, very similar to most sports cars. One is for the poor bastards that wanna look good and go slower coz they can't afford the blistering performance! The other, is a barn stormer which you inherit after yer Anna Nicole-Smith Granny kicks it goodbye! Get the jist?

 

Anyway, the poofy, hairdresser version is no mean feat when it comes to whooping arse. Driving along quite happily back from Hitchin on Thursday night, just jet washed the Kirk and he needed a blow dry so a blast down the dual carriage to Hitchin and back was in order to get the gleam. Anyway, on the way back I get Mr. Porch up me rear end, top down oh so cool. So I thought "right, ok, I don't care if I get me arse cained, I'll give it large with anything!" bearing in mind that I've been whooped by a Toyota Camry V6 in the Merc. So, I floor it to overtake some dizzy cow in a 206 and commence warp factor 2, guaranteed Boxster man floors it and is right on my arse bumper!

 

So, while keeping me right Michael Foot welded dead down on the floor I pull in to let Mr. Porch past which he does quite gracefully! Now I dunno if he bottled it but I really don't think this is the case, he is on the outside and I am on the inside lane. Hitting about a ton I slowly creep up on the inside and low and behold I pass him Ayrton Senna stylee big time and start to leave him behind...see ya!

 

So, next time you see a Boxster and are oh so dead proud about caining his arse, just ask yourself...is he packing a Linford or just a Mr. Muscle??? LMAO!

 

Z3 is a classic example of what I'm on about, 1.8/2.0 whatever version is puney...but you take on the M3 fixed head coupe and it WILL be a different matter.

 

In the words of Daft Dader in Star Wars to Grand Muff Tarpaulin...

 

"Don't be so impressed with this technological terror that you've created, this Death Star is no match next to the power of the FORCE!"

 

Death grip round the throat anyone? LMAO!

Mate, it dont matter to me what they have, be it Z3(1.9/2.8/M3.0) or Porsche(name your numbers) or anything else, if they come up my chuff(no comments!) in the middle of the night flashin there high beams like what happened to me coming back from Brighton the other night, then I'll pull over into the middle lane(as its nice an empty) an then see if they can pass me most times they cant and pull into the middle lane behind me sulkin.

If they want to pass they will.

I cant think of any motor thats blown me away in the Zed...apart from Jez, DaveW, Craig an a couple of other zeds oh 'xcept a 94 TT supra MKIV an I stuck a car length behind but couldnt close the gap.

 

What I do get is people speeding along then they see my green 300ZX light on the back an cant make out what it says, so they always slow right down an creep up behind cos they think its some sort of cop car (it dont help me in the middle lane doing 70!) once they realise that I'm not the cops or something they slowly overtake givein me evils

Good effort mate, I agree, don't care what jaloppy peeps are in, I'll give it a go! Was smilin' big time when I undertook Mr. Porch...most people bottle it! Best one I ever had was a 328i BMW all the way from Rhyallt hill on the A55 to Chester(good 10/20 miles) in my Supra. He wasn't impressed with the fact that his "ultimate driving machine" was being left behind by a G plate car! All the way to 150 baby...yeahhhhhhhhhh!

 

even the boxter s (the suped up model) is slow, well they are nice though i could own one....

Some thing wrong with your car then Tim. I no Boxter has touched me. No Z3 has either. One sunny day down the East Lancs I got about 4 car lengths infront of a 911 before I hit 70 and then stopped accelerating. I had made my point by then. Granted it was not a 911 tubro (Nicknamed 966) but it was a Carrara. 3.6 horizontally opposed.

I dont know if it is my car, it might be chipped with me not knowing. All it has is a Mongoose exhaust on it, and shit rear tyres which skid under the slightest pressure.

I had an experience with a BMW.

On a sliproad coming onto the M58, lorry, BMW 528, Me. I am in 3rd. Gets on to the motorway pulls into the middle to get past BMW and lorry, when I am next to BMW, he starts to pull out nealy hitting me. I pull into the outside horn blowing. He looks at me and tries to cain it. I saw him change down a gear, car jolited and the engine sound screamed like a pre-pubecent girl at a Robbie Williams concert. Puts his foot down and slowly accelerates, Im still in 3rd doing bout 55. FK this, foot down, turbos up, shot past him. About 2 miles down the road he passed me doing over a ton giving me hand guestures. It was funny.

 

Stuart

You really shouldn't be losing to any kind of Boxster in a Z. In fact, you should find all but the latest 911s to be quite easy too.

 

Stick your boost to 1 bar and start racing the 911 Turbos, thats where the satisfaction is (but don't try racing a 2001 911 Turbo or you'll look quite silly).
