K4 SV650 toasts new porsche turbo

Not fully familiar with the porsche range (its so bloody complex) but some sort of porsche turbo (definitely not a normal 911, this was the whole deal, the wide body, the whole works) it was less than 2 years old i think if i remember, lines up at the lights on the a41 coming from hendon towards town with a black sv650 and they both tear off, unfortunately i was stuck in the work car (so-so 170bhp golf tdi), not on my bike, so wasnt in the running at all :P just here to give a big thumbs up to the sv rider who taught the porsche nicely! porsche couldnt beat him from a standing start in a straight long run on a perfectly straight long safe 3 lane empty road! got a nice grin out of it! just wondered if it was anyone here :P

I hope they managed to avoid the two speed cameras on the townbound A41 either side of Brent cross--------

The same thing happened to me in Sevenoaks at traffic lights, They must like the black ones. I love making people look stupid.

Is that why you let james loose on your bike? (sorry sorry)

Righty.

I would never race a lamborghini down the A40, officer
(He looked at me and couldnt believe it, backed off from around 80ish because of a speed camera, it all happened very quickly.)

Well at least he offered to help, just didn't know it would involve a bread knife.

Give me a porshe turbo, i'll see a SV form the lights. Just becuse these people have the cars, dont exactly mean they can drive them does it now!

Power to wieght of a 996turbo (Water cooled) is around 390bhp per tonne, the sv is about 800 or there abouts. To 100, the SV would be in the weeds

Yes but to 60 the SV would pee all over it.

Not if I was driving! The standard Turbo will hit 60 in 4 seconds dead if driven correctly but with the Aerokit package(460BHP) it will do it in 3.7 seconds, it's quicker than a Lamborghini Mucielago in a 1 mile drag race.

The car in question was probably a 911 carrera 4S, all the looks, no spoiler though, but not the power of a Turbo.
