Completely outclassed......
Recent threads on the SL55, 355s, TTs vs GT2, one perfomance chip vs another, superbikes and other weapons of mass destruction got me thinking - we're all very proud and keen to discuss how our cars may outperform others on the road or circuit, but, in all humility (yeah, right, on this board....!), what has anyone genuinely encountered that has in practice just blown the socks off their porsche at every level? This was at a recent outing and I've never come across anything so fast. Felt like I was back in a C2.

fozzy,
were you suprised by how small the car was physically!!!! They look positively tiny next to a 996tt.... First one I saw I walked right by it in a paddock (car was black, very low key) then came the double take was that f*&$#^@g Mclaren F1 OMG it was. Very impressive and very humbling at the same time.

OK, I was out on the track with my Lamborghini when a car flies by me so fast I barely hear the 16K scream out of his turbo's, a Ferrari F333. OMG! I felt like I was driving a stinking 4 cylinder in the wet.

I agree, I couldn't believe how tiny it was when I saw one in person. A lot of cars are like that though, the diablo looked HUGE in pictures but once you got next to it, it wasn't as big. But it wasn't nearly as extreme a difference as the F1.
