Katrina - As told by William Jeanes of Car and Driver
I was searching for info on a Chrysler 300M Hemi and stubled upon this.
http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=4&article_id=10254&page_number=1 Good reading. BTW- The 300M and I were at a light together. He jumped at the green and I decided to go for it. I had not done this in over a year. End result the SC took him by 10+ cars by the top of 3rd. He asked to try again at the next light. I shut down 1/2 way through second we were getting the same results. 1st gear and WOT in the SC are useless.

Good read on the Katrina story. Must have been really scary.

That's a great story, C&D is the only US car magazine worth reading in my opinion. Jim, I'm sure he was amazed that an old 911 was that fast. I'm sure you didn't tell him the entire story on your car.
