Default Carrera 4 Cabriolet vs 02 SS

Got cut off by a Porsche Carrera4 Cabriolet on the way home from Blockbuster tonight. He squezeed in front of me only to get caught at a red light shortly afterwards. The road ahead was straight and intersection free for about 1/8+ mi so I thought he might jump on the green. Sure enough the light goes green, he hits it, and I hesitate for a bit; the wife is next to me with a 1/2 cup of Vanilla Ice Cream at hand. I say screw it and ease into the throttle getting miminal spin from the Nittos. He's got 2.5-3 cars between his rear and my front bumber. His lead grows slightly then stops growing midway thru my 1st gear. Car shifts into 2nd, and I slowly start reeling him in. By the top of 2nd gear I had pulled to within 1.5 cars from his bumper then let off because an intersection was up ahead.
I pulled into the left turn lane at the intersection and looked over. The guy was in his mid-40s and was all smiles. He had that "was that supposed to happen?!?" look. I gave him the thumbs up and headed home happy. I was surprised I pulled on him given my extra passenger.

havent had it at the track yet, the track here (palmdale) sucks. i think 11's seem reasonable on slicks. you have some great times too.
