a comical story...this lad tried to race a 911 Turbo in his st170...how funny...someone wanna tell him...
"There I am, belting along my favorite bit of B road when I see something overtaking in the background. Upon closer inspection of the xenons its an Audi TT. Right then, lets have some!
Drop it to 2nd and nail it through the gears to about 100... whatever it is had the momentum on me so was catching up. I take the first bend fairly cautiously and come out of it.... and this thing is behind me. Christ, he must be flying...
I know.. *idea* I'll lose him in the S bends, take the left hander at about 95, induced some tyre squeal from the ST and this 'TT' is fixed right behind me. I'm just getting set for the right hander (about 50 yards away) when ROOOOAAAAARRRRRR 911 turbo belts past like im not even moving. Slightly shocked I take the right hander as fast as I can, tyres squealing again. By the next bend it wasn't even in sight.
Thats it. I want a 911 turbo!"

Racing at TT 175bhp is ok, they are pants.
Racing a TT 225bhp and the new V6 one is suicidal.
