Thumbs up CL-S vs. Boxster vs. 300 ZX Turbo

On my trip home from D.C., I behaved myself all the way untill I saw the lights of Newport News(five minutes form my house). I see a 2000 Boxster and a 1980's 300 Turbo pass me at about 80. I drop it into ss and line up with them. First race they got a slight jump on me. The Boxster had me by about 1 car length and the 300 was about a 1/4 car lenght ahead.( I still had my windows down). We lined up again at about 75 and went up to just under 115. I was dead even with the 300 and we were at the Porsche's rear bumber. The Boxster took the next exit. The 300 and I were pacing each other at 90. We slowed for one final run. We went from 80 and I had pulled a 1/2 car length by just over 120. This was my first and only 3 way race. It was fun, espically staying with a $ 50,000 Porsche.

had to be a boxter S, cuz the CLS can take the regular versions. Nice job with the 300ZX just make sure the streets are clear when you're racing as not to endanger anyone else

I take it the '300ZX Turbo' was a Z31 model, so that was not a bad run. I ran one with my 02 Maxima and had a hard time keeping up with it in the triple digits.

Sidenote: I was in Newport News area over the weekend and had a run with a Pontiac Torrent (while driving my Murano SL AWD) on I64. T'was a fairly easy kill but then again, I expected no less.

Z31's are often underrated. Very easy to pull HP out of the trubo motor without spending a ton of cash. Some of the Z31 guys are +400whp on a stock block. 250whp is pretty easy with just a boost controller.
