I Got Owned...but By What?!

[OMClarke]

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could fill me in on some specs in a car that 'merged' past me the other day. I was in a Porsche Boxter S sitting at a set of Traffic lights in Lane Cove.

The only things I got a glimpse of before being laughed at by twin rubber lines, was that it was a dark blue, with a red roll cage. The owner seemed to be a youngish sort of guy? Sorry it's so vague, but it's all I can remember

And before you ask, I'm not police or anything, and I don't want names or anything like that, I'd just love to know what that 32 has under it's hood and what it's making at the treads.

The Porsche I was in does the 1/4 in high 13s, and it was beaten sufficiently.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

A stock GT-R will cane that figure.

With a little playing around - Enough said.........

No I get that, but this was a whole lot quicker. From memory it also had a large cannon angled to the left, and lumpy as bad gravy cams

[Haysey]

that doesnt really narrow it down

[funkymonkey]

no regulars on this forum spring to mind immediately when you say blue r32 with red rollcage.

maybe if you went back to where you saw him last on the same day next week and around the same time you might see him again? lol shot in the dark really.

I'll move this thread to the NSW section as they may be better equipped to help you.

Lane Cove hey?

Im from there too - but this GTR/skyline doesnt sound familiar, lately I have found a few lines that arent actually forum members on here, so now its hard to see who is who!

I'll keep an eye out though for sure!

I see a dark blue 2 dr R32 everyday at about 7.30am in regents park heading to god only knows. I cant remember seeing a red roll cage but I do remember seeing a large front mount which could mean he is running lots of boost. It wasn't a gtr though.

[OMClarke]

I know enough about cars to recognise a 32 against an s15

Yeah it was a mates Boxtster S, but they're not a bad kit of car at all. It's got great throttle responce down load, and a beauiful engine noise right behind your ear, albiet no spooling or BOV's. But for cruising around it's fantastic with the rood down through some twisties.

And for the record I'm not the slightest bit ashamed of being flogged, I'd just like to know how badly i got beaten power wise! I'd kill to own something like that sklyline. And btw nice miata in the Cove, I also own one, you up at the plaza often? Haven't seen it around?

[OMClarke]

Porsche Boxter S? they're nuggets!

I had some 'fully sick' bloke with his gf in the car take me down Parramatta Road, I left him for dead in my old RB20DET 180SX.

That wouldn't be a slow car!

boxters can do 13's?????????

Yeah I'm failry sure it's like 13.9 for the Boxter S. Though that figure would probably be absolute perfection driving.

The search continues...

That wouldn't be a slow car!

She was slow, alot of show, not that much go.. only made 190kws at the wheels, nothing special.

You might have seen it before, LP2 Midnight Purple 180SX with GP Sports body kit with the plates SKY-180, a blonde chic owns it now

[evil_weevil]

Nah mx5 isnt there! but yes, it is a blue blue bird with a cams sticker on the back window!

[OMClarke]

Sadly not, but I'll keep my eyes peeled! My Miata makes a blistering 82kw at the wheels! I think a snail on the pavement beat me off the lights the other day. Left a nice thick black line underneath and a lot of shell smoke. I also get beaten by those scooters old people use!

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

btw, did the R32 bare these plates? GTR-23L?

[OMClarke]

That's the thing, I didn't get a chance to have a look. The minute i tried to have a look he spooled up and shifted and a big plume of smoke covered the plates from vision. It would make the search a million times easier haha

[funkymonkey]

you muppets are as useful as tits on a bull.

guy comes in here asking if you've seen or know of an r32 skyline matching his description, and you guys turn it into some epic discussion of your favourite line vs your favourite porsche vs your favourite fords now?

stick to the topic or GTFO. start a new topic if you wanna bash porsches or Group A or whatever the hell else.

[funkymonkey]

Thread split. Offtopic discussion in other thread. Any more OT will get warns.

I live in lane cove mate, have not seen one. Dark blue is a very rare colour from factory. I believe the GTR which came in blue in the R32 was only made 100 times, GTST would be no doubt the same. Unless sprayed but dunno why you would spray it blue.

You sure its a R32?

Saying that its not hard or expensive to make a R32,33 or 34 move abit faster than 13's Unlike the Porka which is quite costly. Ive smoked alot of Porkas.

Hey weapon, right? I came on that cruise with u down to the beaches that night - the red miata was mine, I'm mates with Chris from the foot.

Yeah deff was a 32, positive about it. How's your rig running?

[DECIM8]

Oh sweet, then I know the Porka you speak of.

How you been, need to get out on a cruise sooner rather than later!

FYI I think it has a 3L bottom end 2.6L head and a huge turbo perhaps t04z Only a guess....

[DrewII]

i too live in lane cove. haven't seen the car you speak of. the boxster S surely is quick. but how old is the car? my old man drives a 911 and over time the thing has lost some power and doesnt quite accellerate these days like it would have when it was brand new.
