Wish I owned a Porsche Turbo

Saw a really nice Porsche Turbo today, hope to have one in the near future!!

If a Turbo Porsche raced an SS, which would win?

Wasn't really street racing, passing on the highway at a slightly higher rate of speed would be more accurate, but call it what you like.

This topic is going to be gone in 5 minutes but.. you're not faster than a 175 thousand dollar Porsche, the guy just didn't want to lose his car for a 'street racing' charge.

EDIT: If it makes you feel better though, I think your car looks better, honestly haha I love those 45ths

Op, just so you know this probably will be deleted. And, as side note, for the record a 911 turbo would kill you if he was really on it.

It's at the top of the order other than than the GT or GT-R's. Most of the newer Turbo's are in the mid 400's as far as HP and significantly lighter than the Camaro, maybe he was holding back but it didn't feel that way.
