Alright I've been reading this forum for a while now(way before I registered), and I've got to ask.

Where are all these fast Porsches?

All I read thread after thread, is look at all these mods, my car can beat everything, my TT can waste all, etc. etc...

Yet it never fails every time I see a Porsche on the road, the car is the cause of traffic. Some guy sitting in it going 10 m.p.h slower than everyone else and usually in the fast lane.

I can honestly say I have never seen anyone on these SoCal roads in the last 10 years, doing anything but being Sunday Drivers.

Look I realize the streets aren't a place for racing, but you telling me everyone on these boards are tracking their cars?

The last time I saw a Porsche haulin *** in L.A. it was racing a Ferrari and Phil Collins was singing.



I think the only car driver that may be a more serious offender is the Corvette owner.

 

My car is not a daily driver thus it's not always out on the street . It's with me for when I want to drive it. If someone spots me driving it slow in traffic I would not feel like any less of a person about myself or the car .

 

Maybe that's the point of having a fast car?
To drive it slow.

 

I feel the point of a fast car is to drive it exactly how one wants . I see no reason to fly through congested city traffic on public roads. The only thing that proves is wreckless driving .

 

I enjoy my car driving it slow. I start to enjoy things I don't really do when I'm going fast. I feel the wheels, become 1 with the road. When I go fast, it's the same way of sitting in a roller coaster. Just getting shot up at a high speed and holding on to a wheel. Not much fun.

It's about appreciating the car for what it is, not what it can do.

 

I drive slow so other people can see me.

 

6speedonline and other Porsche enthusiast sites represent a very small percentage of the overall ownership of these cars.

 

I push my car in favorable moments. I don't need some Jacka$$ cutting me off because I'm pushing it a little. As soon as you jump out there everybody around you just tries to keep up. When cops are out there and see a porsche and "whatever" at speed who do you think is getting the ticket ..........

 

With recent crack downs in speeding and penalties through the roof I don't feel the need to prove anything to kids on the street.

If you wanna see Porsches going fast, go tot a lapping day. the mentality you speak of is far more reserved for kids in Honda's.

that being said I don't see any Ferrari owners acting like asses on the streets either.

 

Never did I say anything about doing 100 on the streets and weaving in and out of traffic, I'm talking about the fact that with almost no exception. Every time I see someone driving a 911 around, they are going about 10+ m.p.h. slower than everyone else.

Here they are in one of the most if not most recognized sports car, and they are puddling along as if in a parade procession.

Does anyone actually enjoy their cars? I hope everyone isn't buying them for vanity. Please don't let all the jokes be true.


P.S.- Am I too old? No one got the Phil Collins/Ferrari reference?

 

Im the guy driving the speedlimit in the Porsche. But when the road is clear I open it up of course, but thats when no ones watching and Im impressing myself, not the spectators.

I find that 50% look at you and give thumbs up when driving, the other 50% think your some young ***** in a 140k car. I dont want to give the later group reason to do something stupid, and lets face it, this is socal. it happens.

 

That's what I'm talking about.

 

OK Sonny, we can catch him....
personally I prefer "Born to be wild" as my get up and go song!

 

You must have saw me yesterday on the 605S doing 64 on the fwy in the slow lane Dont want any rock chips just yet!

 

No, but now I'm lookin for ya.
