I said, " I'll concede the stoplight race to you straight up, no need for a test". Then he says, "That's not a racing Porsche, how fast can you comfortably drive at speed".

I just wanted to laugh, I felt like saying, "buddy, my old 944 would dust that POS in a corner, it's a ****************ing station wagon, how you living"????

But because I'm old, I just said, "you might want to educate yourself about Porsches, you're a computer kid, check the Dodge racing win record against Porsche and get back to me next week"..

Reminds me about 10 years ago a Corvette in our city in the downtown did a hi power start at a green lite. Something broke and the car went sideways and killed a pedestrian on the sidewalk. Steet racing can be deadly. Keep your antics on the track - certainly not in the city. Sage advice above.
