It takes a bit of cojones to pick a fight with a Porsche 911. From their introduction in 1964 to the modern day, the 911 has been the backbone of the Porsche lineup. The base models are no slouches, and over the years the model range has a variety for every stage, from “mild” and  “sporty” to “clinically insane” and “the Widowmaker”…and that’s not hyperbole, the 930 Turbo cars are notorious not only for their speed but for their lift-off oversteering tendencies that tend to make messes in the pants of doctors who are way in way over their heads on track days. So we give the driver of this Nissan 350Z credit for taking a shot at a newer 911 in the first place. The Nissan sounds….well, like every 350Z (a French horn with the trots), but if the gauges are any indication, all is not stock under hood. So, fairly stock-appearing Porsche versus a Nissan with some tweaks…not a bad pairing, right?

All would be well and good, except that a guy in a first-generation VW Golf that is as far from stock as you can possibly get decided that he wanted to play, too. At least the guy in the Nissan understands what’s going on, because the laughter that kicks in as the Golf makes the Porsche disappear is infectious. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, indeed.
