The following tale was emailed to me yesterday.

I shall preface it by saying that the excited author of this account is the owner of a modified Supra twin turbo.

Tell me if you think his elation is justified!


--------------------------------------------

I usually don't post my road kills, but this one is different. This was an awesome kill. The best to date by far....

My wife and I were heading to pick up some dinner and I decided to take the Pacific Coast Hwy through Malibu going to Woodland hills. I was going to take the Kenan Dume road, which is about 15 miles of twisties.

About a mile before Kenan Dume what do I see, about three cars in front of me???? Yep... A 911TT Yellow, sweet looking car. No way to play on PCH, too much traffic. So I start doing the next best thing... Praying for him to turn in to Kenan road....

There IS a god, he gets in to the right turn lane followed by me.... Traction control comes off, I glance at my wife, who is completely against this, but there is NO WAY I'm letting this go.... I wanted for him to notice me so I rev the engine and I see him looking in his rear view mirror... Me being the nice guy, I waive at him saying hello!! see me back here???

Light turn green and he makes the turn into Kenan Dume road and punch it... Oh **** my car is TTC and I didn't put the DP on yet, since I took it off to do the smog check... It seems like hours before my turbos spooled up.. Any way 1st gear the guy got me by about 1 car and still pulling 2nd gear still pulling away from me 3rd no luck but he is not pulling that hard 4th DAMN he is about
10 cars ahead of me... **** **** **** I'm on 5th 120+ and now it seems I'm closing the gap a little. We go through couple of high speed turns and I'm now pulling him in closer. We are doing 130+ and about 1/2 mile ahead a posted 40mph right turn. No way I was going to loose to this guy, not on the canyon, I'm floored on 5th and get on the brakes about 100 yards before the turn, by this time he is only about 5 cars ahead of me. I was on the brakes so hard couple of times my pedal started paulsating (ABS). Hard on the brakes and drop it down to 4th and mid corner floored it... OOPS I'm at his rear bumper and gaining on him... This was insane 80+ on a 40mph turn and we are side by side. Road straigtens and I'm now pulling away from him, get to the next turn, I'm standing on the brakes, the rear end started to dance a bit but no biggie and dump it down to 3rd and hammer it again. Now I'm about 2 cars ahead of him. I'm on the ragged edge of my car. We keep going at this all the way through the canyon.. I'm grdually pulling away from him. After
about 10 mile in to this, he is about 1/2 mile behind me. I got to hand it to the Supra, as my suspension system is bone stock and I only had the big tires. This guy was driving the hell out of the Porsche as I was doing the same with the Supra. The TT being 4 wheel drive he definitely has an advantage over me on the twisties, but not today... I got to give it to the Supra for the
handling and braking. This thing out did the 911 in both catagories. Had I had my DP may be the acceleration too.

At the end of the canyon I enter the 101 Fwy headding East and keeping it under 65 since my wife, of whom I completely forgot while dancing with the 911, is in a state of shock.. chardiac arrest?? No she's still breating. About 5 minutes later who pulles in next to me??... The 911. The guy
literlly took his baseball cap off and gave me a thumbs up.. I gave him a thumbs up as well and he sped off...

This was unbeleavable and a such a rush.... I RAPED A 911TT IN THE CANYON YEEEEHAAA.
