It just makes Porsche drivers look arrogant and petty. I'm disappointed. That definitely wouldn't speak for me.

My thoughts exactly. And this is coming from someone who, not too long ago, was speeding around in a WRX.
Part of being a Porsche owner is that we're mature enough not to stoop to their level. The fact that we can sport the Stuttgart Coat of Arms should be enough.

For me, owning this car isn't about what I can do on the roads to prove that my car is better. Boxsters are not straight line cars. We all know this. But straightaways are pretty much all we have in the United States.
I just finished my degree and started my career. For me, owning a Porsche was the next step in life; growing up if you will. Trashing their forums is no better than revving up next to them at a stop light.

No, arrogance would be taking the bait and thrashing one of them. Pwave is on point, where I live they begin driving like lunatics as soon as they see you, one day something bad is going to come from some Honda on the move trying to catch you or trying to emulate your corner speed. I have seen them make radical dangerous moves merging onto ramps, simply because you were ahead, never mind you were ahead before they even merged onto the road, to them it's irrelevant as is the safety of other drivers. I try not to broad brush groups but since having the car as soon as I see the black hood and stainless, I know a dangerous situation has arrived regardless of speed.

PS Speak for yourself on straightline performance, I'm quite sure I could kill them. I'm done there anyway I got my anger out, mission accomplished.

Yep. Porsche is symbol of "I have arrived". Lamborghini and Ferrari is better symbol


At least it is in the midwest

You don't need to street race in a Porsche. You can afford a Porsche. Camaro mustangs civic wrx evo etc are all street race cars

Maybe that's why police leave us along? We don't drive street race cars

Love this quote from one of the punks:

"You know you own a honda when your mom reminds you that you have spent literally double than what you paid for the car, if not more."

Shame you couldn't just afford a car that you don't need to spend all of your allowance on. The 'cool' factor and power are already there from the factory.
Trust me, your girlfriend would rather be over here...

Notice he spelled honda with a lower case "h", enough said.

That's one of the many reasons I bought a Porsche. No need to customize anything, beautiful from factory and comes with all go fast parts

Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari, almost no aftermarket crowd for those brands. I like that

When k&n starts making a cold air intake for Porsche I'll start getting worried
