Run with a Porsche Club.

This past Sunday I had a chance to go on a fun little excursion with about 12 Porsches, a very fast Infiniti G35, an M5, and a Mazda 6 (don't ask). It was awesome, I was finally able to wrap her up in 5th gear. That's right I was running 170+. It was real fun, and we went 120 miles in about an hour. I had a stretch of 50-60 miles where I was pretty much stuck at 145mph. One of the Porsches was a Gemballa X50 that was pumping out about 620hp. It was an absolutely AMAZING car. I was running about 160 when all of the sudden this Porsche comes blowing my doors off. It was freakin incredible. Oh yeah and for those of you wondering, he passed going 205!!!!!!!!!!!




Then we went up to do some mountain twisties. It was awesome.




I wish I had had a camera, but I didn't have one with me. Maybe next time I'll be able to get some footage.

All in all it was the funnest thing I've ever done since owning my Z. I have a couple of buddies who are planning to do this http://bborr.com/. How many of you guys are planning on doing this?

P.S.
Oh yeah the guy in the G35 used up two bottles of NOS in a total of about 4 hrs.
