ON MARCH. 11TH. 2001 AT WESTLAKE, CALIFORNIA. I RACED A 2001 PORSCHE 911 TWIN TURBO TO 140MPH AS WE BOTH FLOORED OUR CARS FROM STANDING STILL.

MY BUDDY JZ FROM MICHIGAN WAS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT WITNESSED THE 2 RACES.

I BEAT THE 996 TURBO IN BOTH RUNS (WITH ONE PERSON ON THE PASSENGER SEAT). IT IS HARD TO KEEP UP WITH A SUPERCHARGED 540i ONCE IT PICK UP ITS TRACTION (ONCE IT GETS IN MOTION & LOOSE ITS WEIGHT IN MOMENTUM).

AFTER THE RACE, WE PULLED OVER AND TOOK PICTURES, THE 911 TURBO OWNER WAS SHOCKED AND HE KEPT ASKING WHAT'S IN MY CAR.


FOR YOUR INFORMATION, HERE ARE THE SPECS OF BOTH CARS:

My 540i - 486HP - curb wt. 3775 lbs - 4.4 liter V8 (DOHC) Supercharged - 5 Speed Automatic - RWD with Limited Slip Differenital (during the race: 1 Driver + 1 Passenger)

VS.

911 TT - 415HP - curb wt. 3415 lbs - 3.6 liter Flat-6 (DOHC) Turbocharged - 6 Speed Manual - 4WD with Limited Slip Differential (during the race: 1 Driver)
