Default Ran a Cayman S

So I ran a Cayman S on thursday at lunch time. I didn't know they were out yet.

He put a little over a car on my to 91mph from a stop. In all fairness, I had the top down and a passenger who's 6'5'' 270. I'm not a terribly smally guy either so the car was quite heavy. (my buddy barely fits in the car, it's hilarious).

I'm not saying I would have stomped him but it seemed like maybe if I was alone and top up I would have stayed with him.

lol, its always something. whenever someone loses, they make excuses. but if they win, it was totally legit. not bagging on you specifically, but i see a lot of that here.

It wasn't meant to be an excuse, I was expecting much worse to happen in the best of circumstances.

I think it's more of pure physics rather than an "excuse".

295-hp, 255-lb-ft, 6-speed and 2948 lbs. My guess is the Cayman S driver was not trying to race you.
