Houston traffic is something else. Ranked number 5, Houston was one of the worst cities for traffic in the US as of 2010. If you’re familiar with 610 loop and i10 interchange, it’s ranked #2 worst bottlenecks in the US as well. It’s so bad that I have to leave an hour and a half early for a 17mi drive to work. I needed to keep my self sane;other than just listening to morning radio, i had to entertain myself by observing every car around me crawling the freeway. Regularly I see a black carlsson e55 AMG, BMW v12 750i, but this morning, I was lucky; I heard a rumble trailing behind me. It didn’t sound like a V8 on magnaflows, it was something different. It rolled by my side and brought a smile to my face; it was a black 964 3.6 Turbo S! But what really made me excited was…
Oh snap, Mike Lowrey’s (Will Smith) Porsche in the 1st Bad Boys movie!
Introduced in the early 90s the 964 was the successor to the 930…well actually they look the same with minor differences.
The major change was the power output. Porsche had to reuse the 3.3 M64 engine and was able to produce 360hp @ 5000rpm.
The airport strip chase between the Porsche and the Cobra is probably one of the memorable car scene chases for auto enthusiasts.
Seeing the 964 turbo on my way to work just made my day. Now to add that to my list of cars to watch out every morning as i crawl Houston City’s traffic.
