    had a really nice top off drive in the 328 this afternoon,,,i started off making my way through the canyon by the sea ., near my house..right after the fast S turn that crests the hill,,,i came up on a 944 turbo,,,seeing that i wanted to get an unobstructed run through the last set of bends that bring you to the bottom of the canyon..i set up for a pass on the 944,,,when he all of a sudden goosed the throttle,,that was ok,,,i managed to slingshot around,,and make haste for the fast left hander leading on to a straight..being that my top was off,,,i was extra careful,,the 328 looses handling with the the top off,..anyways,,i noticed in my rear view mirror .,.that this guy was giving chase,,..i was able to late brake into a tight right hander,,getting a nice 4 wheel controlable slide all the way through the bend...with a good drive for the next set of corners,,,the 944 tried to keep up,,,but was dusted off ..far behind me,,,through the last set of corners., leading to the ocean...i waited for him to catch up,,,he was cool,,we talked for a bit,,,i mentioned how fond i was of the 944 s,,,and away we went...no RED ALERTS from the Valentine one,,,coast was clear...i finished the drive with a nice cruise down to Hunt Beach,,mostly a nice freeway drive,,,with a couple of fast sweepers on two freeway interchange ramps..happy sunday gentlemen,,,Brett..

    Would have been a better story if the other car had been a Viper or a Z06. I would have picked one of those cars for my story! ;)

    Really... is he at this again. Calling him a "Cheesy Dork" is being to kind. Didn't this all get sorted out in the earlier posts?

    Brett,

    There's an autocross in 2 weekends with the San Diego region of the Porsche club.

    You'll be able to go flat out down there and show all the Porsche guys what slow dorks they are ;) ... come down and show us how fast your are 4 wheel drifting and all :).


    Seriously would like to see another Ferrari out there!

    cheers :)

    "come down and show us how fast your are 4 wheel drifting and all "

    I wouldn't sit around waiting for that to happen. Talking (or posting) is a lot easier than "doing."

    If he shows, which seems doubtful, get some video. I'm sure we'd all love to see some of those 4-wheel drifts up close and personal. :)

    Better remember to keep that targa top locked in place, since I guess you can really feel the torsional rigidity in the car.* Seems this allows you to hit those apexs everytime.* Amazing how much structural strength those latches and rubber gromets can supply to the rest of the chassis.* I guess we will start to see more drifting slides in formula one since its such a great racing technique, and to think it took the movie Tokyo Drift to make this an driving style out side of rallying.

    LOL...yeah - my 328 GTS's handling doesn't seem to stiffen up much with the top on...

    And the last time four wheel drifts were a useful (non rally - hard surface road) racing technique was about 40 years ago..

    oh,i guess your talking about the write up in the LONG BEACH PRESS TELEGRAM...about corvette owner CORY FISCHER..who was driving his ZR1..along shoreline drive in long beach...when he tried to show off and pass me at over 100...he lost the ass end and couldnt save it...he and his car...slid across the freeway,and hit both a utility box..and a light post....he lost both his feet ,after his car exploded into flames.. just like in a hollywood movie...OCT 1999,..you should do something constructive...and look it up,,instead of running your little girl mouth.,...thats the kind of corvette driver your talking about right ????

    Thread closed. OP has been warned before about posting street racing threads, and the attitude in the last post indicates he needs some time to calm down.
