Audi S5 V8 vs 01 Boxster S - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Just raced the new audi S5 once with PSM on and once without PSM. The first race I had it on, and launched it too hard so the psm kicked in, and then the rest of the gears it would cut me off for some reaon at around 6500rpm (never had it happen before). I believe my clutch engaged late and the computer cut me off, my clutch is starting to slip a little i think.

Anyways I lost that race, then we came to a second light. I turned off the PSM, light turns green and i launched her ever so perfect, nice smooth wheel spin and off, every gear I was ahead of him by a whole car length if not more. the best part was a nice bend was approaching so he backed off a little, then we had to slow down

fun race...

I had the honor of spanking a punk teenager in a mustang the other day.

I am sorry but we don't allow "street racing threads" here on the forum.

Thanks

I like reading them to see where the S stands

Ever since I put the 3.6L in my boxster no one will race! It's like they know.

I used to race on the street every now and then, not the case anymore. Decided to save the adreneline and need to compete for the track. Not only for safety reasons, but for legal as well. I did some research on state law conerning street racing the the penalties are very harsh....similar to a DUI here in IL. And lets face it, it's just like speeding or driving drunk, if you do it long enough you will get caught. It's not a matter of if, but when. Definately not worth over having a pissing contest on the street with some idiot that wants to race.
