Porsche GT4 A38
Just wanting to share my excitment of my First Proper Dual in my newley owned 380bhp JDM Scoobs.........Glued to the back end of a brand new Porsche GT4 for 8 - 9 miles up the A38 from Lichfield to Burton, incedently 10 miles in the opp direction to which i needed to be!
Thumbs up and a nodding head later from the slighty Narked off GT4 driver it was all over and we went our seperate ways!
Shaking like a leaf and ten minutes in a quiet layby afterwards i was able to continue my journey in the correct direction!
Never ever will i ever underestimate the power off one off these little beautys we call Scoobs! Fantastic.
Ps But i must also say, that GT4 Is the Nuts, what a machine, the width of the whole lane...Monster.
"NO SPEED LIMITS WERE BROKEN IN THIS 8 MILE ACTIVITY!"

A while a go I was testing the Scoob in German on an unrestricted Autobahn. I was massively pleased with myself when an indicated 147 MPH was achieved. It took a while to get there, not quickly but measured.
I was poohing my pants, the bonnet was trying to lift and the SECS unit was indicating a bit of warmth was building up.
I was only to happy to pull in and let the Porker that was parked on my rear bumper to sale past like I was stode still. He did nod his acknowledgement though.
I am sure that was a GT4 or similar.
Next year the Foggy gets the same chance.

Obviously with a longer straight the 193mph would start to come into it, but toe tapping to toe tapping im smuggley impressed. A great buz.

Porsche GT2 has 530 bhp and is a complete animal. So he may have been running in his new engine gently whislt you were following him.
I know of a 480 bhp 996 turbo which struggles to pull away against a modded Subaru or Evo until over 100 mph.

Googled the car and it's there.
That being said my little legal play on the Autobahn was a while ago so it may have been a Carrera 4S. At that speed the last thing you notice is car badges.
Rusty bullet hole tension is far more important.

Daz, we were on a restricted part of the autobahn!! As soon as it became unrestricted, he was gone!! By the time I reached my top end he was out of sight!! I passed a layby a few miles on and he had time to have a four course meal and a bog break
But boy did I have fun chasing it
