only the latest 911 turbo's in std form would have beat you as early ones were just a rattly old vw shit box lol, as for handling there like driving a car with the rear end attched with elastic bands bloody horrible, rather be in my cozy ,me and my old p100 cozy kicked a 911 turbos arse many years back was gr8 when the porsche owner relised i was in a pickup lol

vroomtshh

When were early 911s a rattly old VW shit box?
And your not on this planet if you think a 'cozy' (I assume this is for warming your teapot) can keep up with a 911 on bends

This thread should have its own windows for half of you lot to slobber on

Nearly, fella - will be three years later this year to be absolutely precise. Doesn't time fly!


@Cozy777 - Dude - have you actually ever driven any of the 911 turbos? Your description of handling characteristics suggest not...

Yeah, its a bummer we always seem to get inundated with the dropout 13 year old boys instead of the slutty 16 year old girls though

Again out of the box I would recon the cos would get murdered even by an older 964 which was the last of the real tail happy cars , from the 993 on they were all 4wd apart from the gt2's or cars with the front prop pulled. With mods the cossies can be great handling cars but then again if your starting on mods the porkers can be improved on aswell.

pmsl! what a post. i take it your knowledge of porsche's is very limited.

and i love how everyone who knows nothing refers to them as vw's.

the man who designed the porsche was enlisted to design the beetle.that is it! not the other way round like most people think,the porsche did not come from the beetle

Bullett

iTrader: (2)

this i the problem.these lads say a cossie will cane a porker but they are all talking modded cossies. lets a standard 3dr,saff or escort beat a standard porsche at anything other than carrying capacity

Read it again you mongtard. I am saying a Porsche is not a VW

i couldnt deal with that much bullshit coming in thanks! i had better be careful

Maria.

Working in a Porsche Dealer i get people referring to them as glorified VW's all the time! it does get a tad irritating sometimes.

RstAaron.

I used to work at a Bentley dealership where the cars were just glorified Passats lol

vroomtshh

The cayenne does use the exact same chassis as the Touareg and Q7.
And Porsche do own 50.1% of VAG shares so they're not exactly wrong

Funny enough my Dad was an avid VW fan and owner and used that one quite a lot 'its just a souped up volkswagon' he used to say bless him

fair enough to the op to have a go when ever I see a super car I always have a go, as ya do 911's have been around for quite a while, are well engineered and kin lively, a true icon in the world of super cars, as they say on the street, 'nuff respect is due'

lol u boys do get out of your prams lol,
if i had not driven a porsche before i wouldnt have commented, i can obviously only comment on what i've driven which is a 911 at palmer sport,a 911 turbo 1976,a 996 3.6,and a boxter 3.2 which drove well but power a bit flat
as for being a school kid lol wish i was that young again
ford boys stick up for there brand same as you porsche boys fair do's but come on a 911 feels like its got flat rear tyres when pushed hard on a track,
as tim harvey said on tv there an aquired taste if you can get used to the floaty rear end like rear steer then you love em just i dont,

and agree if all cars were std a porsche would be quicker but that werent how the thread started.

what?

none of that makes sense at all to me and I have driven LOTS of 911's on track.

Lee he obviously dosent know what he is talking about & making shit up

JjCoDeX75

@ cozy777
I have also driven the Palmer sport 996 - it is a bog standard Carrera 2 with the slushy tiptronic box - not even in the same league as a turbo (which I noted was missing from cozzys list of cars he has driven).

Frankly, bad as it is, I would still put my money on even the Palmer sport 996 over a std cossie through the twisties!

As far as the flat tyres thing - I wonder if it actually had flat tyres? I can find no other plausible explanation for your description..

JJ

cozy777

making up shit !! carlo ?? if you want to come on here and argue fair do's lets go with the petty name calling and making it all personal if not keep it to the cars i'm talking from my experiance of driving these cars and an actual qoute from tim harvey maybe he dont no shit to lol .

cozy777

jj read again i'm giving my opinon on cars i've driven inc a 76 911 turbo as for the new 911 turbo probably brilliant i dont no as not driven that but the original thread was a 350 bhp saph and a 911 turbo year i dont no but if it was old one then the saph should have been all over the porka and as stated both std cars then yes the porka would win.....

escort_2f2f

Tell me about it! People say that to me when I pull up and it irritates the fuck out of me!

This is my 996 Turbo & 5.4 V8 Supercharged F150:





I dont know where Cozy777 Gets the floaty back end from because mine sticks to the road like glue unless I turn PSM off and really throw the car about......

Dangerous Malcolm..

Most people refer to them as glorified Beetles, me included, and I think it's just a term of endearment rather than a dislike of em. If YOU read up on their history, VW and Porsche have been intertwind from pretty much day 1, and it's a little bit more than just the same designer.

To save you having to look, read this little extract:

iTrader: (4)

I havent name called or anything like that it just seems to me as if your coming away with stuff you read about & when i mean read you have prob read a little bit then a nother bit half way down the page added 2+2 & came up with 9. You forget your talking to ppl on this thread that actually own these cars! look at lee for example (porkie) he has used his porche in ways we can only ever dream of he is just back from the ring last week in it if i remember rightly so if you had a point on the cars performance im sure if it were true he would agree with the ammount of use his has had he is bount to know the car inside out.

cozy777

carlo as i said i speak from my experiance of the cars i listed that i belive was relivant and a quote from tim harvey in an interview on tv when he was asked the difference from coming from a touring car to the porsches ,

escort_2f2f

What experience have you had in a 911 Turbo?

Maria.

Ahhhh now that is where you are wrong my friend.... it is SIMILAR but not the same! Porsche has 'tweaked' the chassis quite considerably! when you break it all down in fact, they are very different!

Oh.. and its the Q5 that has similarities, the Q7 is a longer wheelbase and chassis

and off....

cozy777

track day in m8's 911 turbo 1976 vintage about 8-9 years ago ,nothing as new as yours , but my opinion of it was not good went ok rear endy has hell but worst i drove was the 911 not turbo at palmer sport changed gear about an hr after you asked it to and back end was like driving in jelly not nice the fpa and clios were fun though and i laped about 3 seconds a lap quicker in the clio than in the porsche

escort_2f2f

And thats your argument Void.............

we are talking about the newer models that are not so loose on the tail...... not the 1976 model....

vroomtshh

Not according to the internet

Although i suppose it may not always be accurate . You should edit the Wiki page

Maria.

sod that... its bad enough trying to tell you lot whats what let alone millions who access wiki. But i do have it from good authority ( the production team at head office ) that what i say is right! lol

vroomtshh

Nope sorry, I can;t believe that anything could be posted on the internet and be wrong. It just couldn;t happen

What would the production team know that Dave, 13, from Essex doesnt?

Maria.

cozy777

lol but there you go you admited the cars i have experiance of which is what i stated are rear endy and wobbly, i did say that this is my experiance and i have not driven the later types,and orginal thread didnt mention age of the porka,so my point stands!!.
we all have our own opinions and thats good or it would be a boring world

cozy777

lol just noticed you said that you drive with psm on lol says it all just like my old e39 m5 if you turn all the saftey buttons off there all over the place fun in its place but dont mean it handles well just means the computers are compensating for the poor handling obviously my opinion of my old my m5 not your porsche!!

Breaking traction and handling are two different things
