Again that depends on which one your racing!!
A 745 or a 750 wont just slowly draw you in they will catch you pretty quick and walk right buy. A 325 or a 330 might just slowly draw you in but not the big boys. My dad had a Porsche 911 wich he sold cause of inscurance raced my Titan and it literally could run circles around me at 60 he gave me a 2 secfond head start then he just Ran right by me.

Once an intercooled supercharger is available for the Titan, the 745 won't be walking by anything. It'll only be seeing Titan tailights.

For a sportscar that goes for $80K+, the 911 better be faster. Imagine how fast you could get a Titan for $80K! If your Dad's Porsche was non-turbo, you're looking at around 320hp in a <3500lb car. That's equivalent to over 150hp due to the weight difference alone.

The_Head is running just a 75hp shot and got down to mid to high 13's. I believe stock 911's run very low 13's. Just imagine what the Titan could do with a 150hp+ (intercooled) supercharger on it. That would definitely give your Dad a run for his money.

Need someone to help you in your writing Mr. Perfect? Check highlighted words above quoted from you.

This is a "War Stories" thread under the "Off Topic Area" and the event/s can be as stupid as your desire to preach, however, this is their story and not yours.

Additionally, your source of income "making an excellent living off other peoples' ignorance" is as irrelevant as to your inability to stop your own ignorance about the freedom/s of people. Your freedom ends where mine begins! What you see and read here Mr. SpeedFreek is Democracy in action not Socialism you desire to impose. The last time I checked: THIS IS A WAR STORIES THREAD!!!

The topic "War Stories" is indeed under the "Off Topic Area", and the owners of this site are quite specific of it's intended content.

In case you have not taken the time to view the main page I will gladly post it here for your ease of reading.

This section is for discussion of any races you may have participated in. If you smoked someone like a pack'o'cools, let us know. Likewise, if you got beat... let us know by what, so we can keep an eye out for it next time.

What is your definition of a race? Would you be racing every time you follow directly on someone’s ***? If a driver attempts to distance himself from someone following in such an aggressive manner would he be racing? Do you normally race people from behind up to, and past the speeds of 70mph? If so did the person in the lead not win the race? Do we need to inform the NHRA that all these years they have been racing incorrectly? They could save a great deal of cash in building tracks with one lane instead of two.

For the record I have never visited the War Stories forum's and lectured against racing. The original post directly involved driving which could be considered to be aggressive in nature against the other vehicle, and this has nothing to do with racing at all.

PS: Would anyone have thought a 40mph accident could have caused so much damage?

Yea that would be great you could give him a run for his money the only thing is its still a truck!!!!!!!

I wouldnt want to do 175 mph in the Titan i dont care, and as for stability turning the Titan will always be inferior.

Actually the 13.7s were on a 50hp shot. It's too hot to make a good run with the 85hp shot I have dialed in right now.

Ok, Lets say that dont matter to you in the least, lets take a different look at the situation.

Lets say a accident happend in which you were at fault and you totalled his car.

The base price of his car could easily be around $70,000 and with options the price could approach $80000.

If your insurance covered up to $60,000 dollars worth of damage to another persons vehicle you could easily be left with having to pay $20,000 out of pocket to replace his car. This is not to mention any further cost you might accrue if anyone saw your aggresive driving and the driver wished to sue for personal injury.

This can be a terribly costly mistake on your part all due to the fact he wasnt driving 5mph faster than you felt he should have.

I dont like people in front of me distracted on the road by talking on the phone any more than the next guy, but I take for granted there not the safest drivers and give them a wide margin for safety in case something stupid should happen.
who the hell are you his mama let him make his own mistakes.i have mad some mistakes as will like.like hitin on the hottest girl in school her boy friend did not like that.
