Default Porche jeep thingies.

I was on my way to the Lakes on Friday making good progress, when a Cayanne ugly looking Jeep thing appeared behind me, I moved over and he flew past, it was extreemely fast !

I noticed it had four square exhausts, which model was it ?

Do they make a slowish one, and a quick one ?

Do they do an optional special beserk one ?

Some stats would be nice, thanks.

From what I remember they do a NA model and a turbo model, Turbo has the 4 exhausts, and yes they are quick ! Well Quick between petrol pump to petrol pump if you know what I mean, the fuel bill on one of those make a Scooby look economical.

I met the beserk one here in Tokyo the other night m8. Gemballa plates on it, huge fender extensions, forest clearing amounts of rubber, chunnel sized exhausts... It couldn't have been that quick, coz I got all those details

Ugly as sin, fast as ****. Couldn't hear it over my own exhaust tho

one of the trackday regulars at Oulton uses one to tow his track car- and occassionally takes it on track. phenominally quick (and I don't just mean quick for a big bus- it's properly quick)

Yep this was proper quick.

We were on that private motorway leading to the lakes....

I was flat out in my lowly 01WRX, I moved over, so did the M3 in front, he flew passed as though I was standing still. Is it possible for something that big and un-aerodynamic to reach what looked like 170+....?

The basdid waved too, ****.....
