I pulled up to red light next to a couple young guys in a foxbody one Saturday night. It was my wife and I in my Cayenne Turbo. I don't know what engine they had (maybe a six cylinder even) ...but they started revving their engine and looking over at me. They may have not known I had the turbo model (or even what my car was). I did not look back, but when the light changed, I let them take off (burning rubber), and then gave mine about 3/4 throttle. Of course, the all-wheel drive hooked right up with no spin. I passed them like they were sitting still. When they got to the next light, the driver looked over all sheepish and exclaimed that he did not realize how fast "those" were. It probably added insult to injury when the trailer I was pulling with my '74 911 on it also passed them (lightweight aluminum Trailex). My wife never even realized I was racing (sort of racing).
