Dusted by a 996

My first car was a '74 911T and now I'm a Cayenne owner. My wife is driving my Cayenne while her Audi is geting some scratches fixed, and I've been driving my brothers $115K '06 SL 500.

I am proud to say (as a Porsche owner) that in a fast race down the parkway with a black 996 I was reminded what it means to be a Porsche guy. The SL was in sport mode, and I had the pedal to the metal- If only my brother was there so I could see him cry!

Dont you mean sl550, i didnt think they made sl 500's anymore. either way, even a boxster S is faster than an sl500/550.

It is an SL 500- maybe he bought it as a 2005 left over?

Anyway, he thinks it is one of the fastest cars on the road, and would have been quite upset. I had that pedal so far down I could have touched the asphalt.

What can you expect- I told him to buy a Porsche!

... and, a Boxster S is less than half the price!

Too bad I didn't have a video camera- maybe I'll set one up to record his reaction when I tell him.

lol! Kinda sad, they really sold him- to the tune of the price of 2 Boxster S's!
Now, only to be out with him and have him run into a modified CS . . .
