nochknstrps Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 You should def. go pick up a porsche...Took my dad's porsche out to my favorite little spot today, nothing special just a little boxster and I've driven it before but not like today . I guess not owning a bike will do this sort of thing to someone.It doesn't come close to riding a bike in terms of performance as we all know but man does it handle the curves. Carries alot of corner speed and feeling Gs in a long sweeping turn while accelerating thru and hearing the tires scream is def. a rush I look forward to again. I know what your saying, "for 30k I could have 3 bikes in the garage and smoke you and your little boxster." Yeah yeah yeah but its still fun! I make fun of my dad for owning the lil fucker, he should have just gotten the 911 and been done with it. I guess I'll have to let up on giving him shit... or maybe I could pressure him into making an upgrade even sooner. I'll keep you posted.

Disclaimer Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Touche'.You're full of 'em today IP... I need to spread rep around more first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrillo Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm not going to claim them to be the "shizznits!!!" As a previous miata owner though, I don't like when people bash them. If you accept them for what they are and what mazda was trying to do with it, then you'll understand the car. The miata wasn't designed to compete with Porsche, or even be considered "high performance". It was designed to be a come back of old british roadsters with the reliability of today's tooling. The fact that you mentioned the Miata in a thread about Porsche speaks of the engineering that went into the car.If you haven't driven one, which I'm assuming you haven't, then you wouldn't undestand. The car isn't the best out there, but its got spirit and a whole lotta guts (no balls though, and thats why most don't like em) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muska Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've driven my friends air cooled 911 turbo. You have to be very careful when driving the non-AWD 911's, they like to get squirrely. I haven't driven a newer 997 911 yet, but am looking foward to owning one in a few years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 air cooled FTW. i've driven my dads a few times and i love the sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 miata's are one of the OG's of fun to drive cars. the S2000 is more my cup of tea, but there's a good reason why spec miata racing is the shiz.next, drive a fairly rare mazdaspeed miata. those are light, tight, and has a turbo for great justice. they aren't comfy, but they weren't supposed to be.

NinjaNick Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 My father has a S2000 fully piped, intercooled, shorty shifter, small jet fighter looking Momo steering wheel, pimped out black wheels, carbon fiber trunk and hood, race pedals, etc. I love that little car. FUcker flys and can RAIL around turns.I never got the miata scene though. I couldn't fit my foot in one of those cars. They look like a tiny hot wheel.

natedogg624 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 did your dad do that or buy it like that? very cool either wayhe must have the heart of a 16 yr old with the wallet of a 60 year old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balaormiga Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I had a 1991 Mr2 Turbo modded depending on what day we dynoed it had about 325RWHP.I could suck the lights out of boxsters and 911's. On the curves, properly set-up it is hard to beat a miata unless you have a lotus elise/exige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 did your dad do that or buy it like that? very cool either wayhe must have the heart of a 16 yr old with the wallet of a 60 year oldMy dad or Blakes? If you're talking about mine, yeah he did that himself. He bought it stock. He's going on 62 this year and he loves getting into races when peeps get on his ass or bait him..haha. He's been into fast rides since he was 16. I almost wasn't born a few times..lol. One wreck in a vette in the 70's his buddy got decapitated and my father was in a coma for almost a month because of a 100+mph wreck. It's in his blood. He likes street racing scene.

nochknstrps Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thats cool your dad is still young Nitro. I'm tempted to take my dad and his car out to the place I took it today and show him how it should be driven, but something tells me it might not go over too well.

NinjaNick Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks for the Nitro props. He LOVE Fast and Furious 1 and 2 and is looking fwd to the new one this friday at theaters. Me too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balaormiga Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Of course as so many magazines point out. Miatas and Mr2's regardless of the horsepower, handling etc. they can't compete against a Porsche on the "class" factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
