I doubt he traded up just because a truck beat him in a race.
As an owner of a 997 C2S, I can say that although an LS equipped truck may beat a 911 off the line in a 1/4 mile, you wouldn't have a chance any further than that and trying to get the jump on him at highway speeds...forget it.
As an owner of an S-10, I wouldn't give anyone in these trucks the time of day if they wanted to race me in my 911, no matter what they stuffed under the hood. If someone was pacing me on the freeway like you were in the video, I'd probably try to get away from you too. That's kinda creepy. Don't race in traffic.
That statement wasn't to be taken 100% literal but take it how you will...I'm not saying the soul purpose of him getting the GTS was because of me, but I bet a big factor during the purchase of the same car with just mostly added power was to insure he never got his ass stomped by one of these trucks that you would never give the time of day.
And try to tell me I don't have a chance?? I talked to the guy after the run for crying out loud! He even said, "good run". I would think that indicates a previous race wouldn't you? Therefore, leading us to believe he was attempting to win, but did not as you can clearly see me pulling up on him at 47-54. Now would this car have beaten me if we keep pulling to higher speeds? Ofcourse.
And if you would take the time to pull your head out of your ass you would see where we discussed on going out for a 2nd run(race). So don't try to tell me I'm pacing this guy like some sort of creeper.
Don't be such a sore loser because one of your beloved Porsches was out run by a s10.
