View Full Version : Porsche C4 couldn't keep up today with stock M-Roadster.

I knew the race was on when he put up his spoiler...
Pretty thick traffic at the time...
The three lane road opened into 4 lanes...
All of the sheep (other non-driving a-holes) stay in the three left lanes...
C4 shifts to second 3 car lengths ahead of me... So do I...
My tires chirp as I release the clutch, and I have to shift early into 3rd to keep from kissing his car with my spoiler.
Third gear really showed his weakness as I passed him @ over 100.
The traffic got thick and he pulls into the left lane next to me with an embarrased face looking straight forward. He just got it handed to him by a stock 2001 BMW M-Roadster w/hardtop.
Adreniline winding down now...

I guess it is a front spoiler??? Not a bumper... maybe grill? IDK.
I do have a factory rear spoiler though.
Sorry about the dark photo... I have no other photos of my car so I took one tonight...
It kinda came out.


Thanks for the welcome!!!
Never been on a car forum before,
Cept for technical stuff.

I think a C2 would have been a closer race...
No one knows the goodness of the roadster/coupe with s54 power.
Cuz there are just a few out there...

I forgot to mention...
2001 740IL (but that is my boat... not my car... JK)

nice kill

was it a 996 or a 993?

996 I am pretty sure... It has slots on the spoiler... Right?

im not sure, i dont think the 993 has an automatic spoler. My uncle has a 993 C4S (and a M Roadster, heh) and it has a wails tail.

Does your Roadster has the 333hp M3 motor in it?

S54 in the M Roadster = 315hp, but essentially, yes.

A stock S54 with stock gears can, yes.

Just wondering where in NJ are you and what color was the C4?

Nice kill....1/4mi times and 0-60 show the Mroadster .5sec quicker. However, make the road a little slick and you'd be the one looking at taillights. ;) C4's have gobs and gobs of grip in bad weather.
