Please if you are offend by the street racing scene PLEASE use you BACK Key.


So to my fellow HP Junkies (sunday) on my way to a Porsche Gathering............

I encounter what it appears to be either a 2001/2002 Twin Turbo 911 as we were crusing at 60mph I can tell that MR.Twin Turbo is coming and he is coming for me in anticipation to the BIG Dance I down shift to 4 gear and waited for him he make eye contact and it was obvious he wanted to run and he wanted to teach me a lesson, not sure if I could Dance with the Big Dog I down shift once more to 3er at this time we when at it we were pretty much even from 3er I shift to 4th and I start to walk away from him 5 and I can see him in my rear view mirror but theres no chance he decided to back off ,flased the lights and give me the dumps up,this is a Big Moral victory ! as we stand we are 6-0 since the new up grade I have various invitations for this weekend a Turbo C-2 and a few supras.

I keep you guys informend until then.........

Rock on Juan! I hate to see you spank a 150k Porsche, but I guess it's better YOU spank him in your 911 than some guy in a ricer spanking him.

You gotta hunt down a Cobra and some Supras or other ricers. Of course, make sure you play it safe though.

What Juan didn't mention in all his modesty is that he also took first in class at the Concours that same day.

Here he is (I hope)

This is a big step up on the butt kickin ladder.
TT's are a good measuring stick to see where your
car is in the pecking order. Your doing great!!!
Be careful with these TT's from a standing start,
they leave quick and hard to catch sometimes.
Let me know how it goes with the C2 Turbo, the
supras can't hang!!
By the way I spanked a 355 F1 on the way to the
office today.(car was quick, driver was good)

Be careful, drive hard!

Nice gatherring Juan and Flacarrera,
Juan might wanna get some sunglasses that fit on yer nose tho'

I did notice that you snuck off so that you did'nt have to risk getting shown up by the twin plugger!


I did follow stan out of the meet and he took off hard.... so I had to follow, reckon I was gaining on his silver SC

[juan ruiz]

Yes Ben I had to run out before I had to run you..or is run over you
naaaaa......................Just kidding

[PORSHIN]

That's the first time i've seen that much of Juan's car...looks sweet.
I doubt he will run into very many cars on the road that will even be a challenge!

With all due respect, please do not put a Cobra in the same ladder as a Supra or any other rice mobile. 427 Cobras held the 0-100-0 crown for many years and with mods can easily improve upon it since the base engine is mild by V8 standards. Add to that the prevalence of quaility kits these days and a huge aftermarket for Ford V8's and a 1000+hp street driven Cobra would be a simple exercise. My brother has all but purchased my 650HP smallblock for use in a Cobra kit and given the fact that it pushed a 3000lb car deep into the 10 second zone I can't even imagine what it will do in a light Cobra body. I'm not saying there aren't a lot of fast ricers out there but they simply will run out of displacement long before us 'merican boys even break out our big-blocks, remember the Pro 5.0 record is somewhere in the 7 second zone!

Back to the P-car though, I am very impressed with the progress of all the HP Junkies. Keep up the good work!

[PORSHIN]

I'm not sure but I took it that he was talking about one of the new Ford Cobras. For some reason I didn't even consider the AC Cobra. I didn't think anyone would want to dethrone one of them! They have their place, they earned it, they deserve it. They are in a class of their own. Not to say a Porsche couldn't beat one if properly prepared, but if you did the same things to the Cobra, well its just not a proper match! It's just a different animal altogether!

Thank you guys!

I now I sound like a broken record I said it before and I said it again the HP numbers are nice but the real FUN part for me is been able to share the ENTIRE Project with all of You!
