Not a huge lead but enough to be like wow, 426hp and you can't hang with 240hp?
even when the camaro started behind me, which should give him the advantage since the camaro could floor it a second before I could due to waiting for a vehicle to move, 987 still managed to out accelerate
but seeing how close it was I'm sure a 588hp ZL1 or 505hp Z28 would beat a stock 2.7 987 as it should with double the horsepower

Get serious...You are kidding yourself. Perhaps he was just being kind to your ego. I've had a new SS pull away from me in my 02S hard enough at 130MPH to make it look like I was braking. I thought we were neck and neck until he put his foot into it. The noise sounded like it was going to suck me out of the car. His car actually "squatted" under the acceleration from 125mph.
On a tight road with turns that must be taken at 70 or less, I bet you could lead as long as it does not open up to a straight for more than a few 100 ft.
