I live a few miles from I-35 and I-44 interchange. The actual speed limit in city limits along there is 70. There are more than a few on ramps in the area that are mostly traffic free. It is part of my test loop and where I take family and friends on a ride. My 911 is a slug compared to all the cars on that list, but some of the on-ramps we have have a nice curve right in the middle of the on-ramp. Getting up to 70 does not take long, and I can merge in with the traffic easily. And traffic is usually rolling along at 75 or so. For the average passenger that has never been in a sports car in a curve it is pretty exciting. I can't imagine the fun of doing it in a truly fast car.

Well yeah, same with my cayman, i constantly get idjuts in chiptuned TSI turbo modern audis and what not.. they can make easy power and torque with just the boost and then wanna test their metal on a Porsche cayman, woop ti doo
I wasn't even racing them, but they are all happy bout beating a Porsche.
But any time it'rains, you see em petering around all scared that their boost will come up and kill em ded.
I'll take my NA 245 horses thankyouvery much.. it's good fun to scoot around, I don't have to worry about the car trying to kill me with excess power and sudden loss of traction .. and mid engine, it really hasn't got any nasty vices in the handling department.. oversteer, back off the throttle and it falls back in line..
And my 0 to 60, It should be around 6.1 secs, but i doubt I've ever pulled sub 7.. I value my clutch, tires and mechanical parts more then whatever it is a 0-60 max pull can do in terms of enjoyment..
