My 3.2 VS 2003 Camry and a Cayenne

We stopped at the light besides taylor Ford and we had a traffic circle beyond that.Me in my 3.2 and some guy in a gold Camry.

Green light!
we are neck and neck until I shift then I pull away, not sure how much. prob 1/2 a length.
100 km/h now.
the circle is comming up. 120 km/h I can see the camry in my side mirror (closer than they appear).
Ive done the circle with my Bridgestones b4 at 120k/h, but Ive got snow tires. I say to heck with it and stay at 120, didnt break ,just maintained speed, Camry cant handle it and Im pulling away more now 2-3 lengths.
then on the inside Im settting up to apex onto my exit and hit the hiway.
perfect! the tires held no probs.
as Im crossing the bridge over a street , a Porsche Cayenne is merging and the Camry and I pass him.
Soon he's with us and the Camry backs off and Im left alone.
140 Km/h
150....160.....180.....185 this Cayenne passes me like Im stopped and pulls away in a puff of greyish smoke. I slow down as I don't want my snow tires to delaminate and I end up on my top with a tree in my arse.

This guy handed me my ass on a plate.
but I got the Camry.
Guess they dont handle that well..
No wonder my mileage sucks...lol

cayenne's are the fastest stock suv's out there and they cost about $60,000 so it dosent surprise me that you got smoked by a porsche (pretty much). It has a boxster engine...

It has a lot more than a boxster engine.

The largest Boxster engine is a 3.2 liter flat 6. The base Cayenne uses a 3.2 liter VR6 engine. The other trims use a 4.5 liter V8 and some are turboed.

And yes they are ridiculously fast. The top of the line turbo model will run 0-60 in 5 seconds. And its a full blown heavy SUV.

Its must have been the Turbo Cayenne cuz while he was pulling away I was wishing I had my Stealth twin T again. And you know I think I would have had my hands full even with the Stealth too..

http://www.egertonlaw.com/articles.shtml <~~ go to this site scroll about 1/3rd the way down and read about my childhood... its called "THE LONGEST NIGHT"... maybe the pics of mangled metal and the story of a 12 year old and his mother losing there whole life might make ppl think before they do something as stupid and retarded as race on a city/highway street. think of the others you might kill and the familys that will suffer because you wanted to prove your car was faster than some dudes you never even met before in your life. do me that favor.... THINK! (sorry if i came across like an asshole but id hope you would understand y i feel when a subject like this is brought up, i add my feelings... id hate to see a 12 year old go thru what i did because of someone doing this!)
