Tiny correction in the steering and squeeze the go pedal a bit more, clip the apex, squirt out and select fourth...

Ah... Glorious...

It had an aftermarket tranny then, I guess.

Panamera's on the list too. No Triumphs, tho.

And if you notice #1 Nuff said

1. 1932 Ford V8: The first performance car a working man could afford, with looks swiped straight from Duesenberg. This car has defined American automotive culture for nearly 80 years.

I'm thinking not true. I owned a '70 E-Type with a 4.2 6 banger. Musta bumped my head just before I sold it.

You hit the nail on the head with newer performance cars El. They are more for comfort than performance. Though if you can take the cabin heat the Viper still delivers.

A friend of mine owns a Challenge Stradale and that ride will tatoo a smile on yer face for days.

I took a brand new '04 Z06, stroked and forged the block then put a positive displacement blower with methanol injection to cool the charge. Its no Porche but when you hit the loud pedal not many P cars round here can stay with it.

A 1996 Porsche is "newer"??? Well, if you're comparing to a 2004 Chevy ....

I am really enjoying this. Please do continue!

I love the look on a P car driver when one gets spanked. It is usually "I missed a gear" or "your old heap was not delivered from the factory like that". But the best part is how they usually avoid making eye contact afterwards.

We look for the P cars and exotics going to the East End and give them a run for their money when we can. I've climbed in thru the window a few times in some rides before if you know what I mean. Some here might but it is prolly lost on you. They took the feel outta the P car, that is the point I was making.

So to continue I was speaking of a '70 jag compared to that '96 tub. Do I need to 'splain the age difference.

Its all good m8

Yes, now I understand. I encounter the type once in a while, always on the streets whilst I'm running my errands around town, the guys with something to prove, who look for the p-cars and other exotics.

Whilst the "P car" drivers go to the track when they want to exercise their mounts, the ones who go on internet forums to brag about "the look on a P car driver" are speeding on the public roads, showing how "cool" they are endangering bystanders who are simply trying to get from point A to point B. Meanwhile, the P car driver they "spank" (me ? I guess?) has no idea there was a speed competition to begin with, and would never be stupid enough to attempt such a competition on a public road.

Anyway, I know that this is all just Internet Banter. Perhaps "going to the East End" is the name of a closed road course? It doesn't sound like it. Perhaps you could elaborate. I'm a bit of a stickler about road safety, and hope that none of the younger readers of this forum are encouraged to compete on the public roads. There are plenty of tracks in Europe, the UK and USA that host drivers education events for street cars and drivers of all levels. Please keep your "spankings" to the forums and tracks!!
