There are a few cars out there that will give the majority of riders a run for their money.

A month or so back i was out in my car on a favourite biking road not far from me and ended up blitzing about half a dozen bikes including gix600's and a nice sp1! the look on the riders face as i pulled alongside overtaking at .......was priceless!
(shouldnt say how fast as i'm sure someone will tell me how irresponsible i am!):P

correct! its a 996C2 3.6
modded with fabspeed exhaust, induction kit and BMC f1 race air filter.
putting out about 335bhp (320 stock) and weighing in at a fairly light 1375kg all up with fuel and driver

sounds wicked when its on cam! (which is all the time! ) didn't get it to just polish it
Done one track day with it and murdered all the scoobies and evos that were out there on the day! But to be honest i was going mental in it!
engine still a little tight (5k) but its getting better now i'm getting some miles on it!
can be a bit of a handfull for the unwary! but great fun for chasing just about anything!
Just make sure it isnt an unmarked police car! (thats another story!)

have got a pic somewhere from the trackday, will try and find it
