You should have said "I held him off for about a mile, until he gave up and pulled off."
We'd all have bought it.

It was cool of him to give you the flash before pulling off. Most Carrera owner swould have made it a point to ignore you.

I felt the same way in my 914 when a Boxster would follow me.

Most CARRERA owners would have ignored you...but anyone who could afford to get a CARRERA GT probably has their head on straight and just enjoys cars for what they are...fun cars!

Good story,
Maybe Carrera GT owners were once Boxster owners with a dream!

even if you own that car there is always a better car, so no need to be an ass to anyone, but that was pretty neat, no need to feel bad about your car
btw, i was driving home last night, and a guy w a new 911 (still had temp plates and some bog deep dish HREs) yells nice 986. at first i didnt even notice there was a car next to me, but when he said 986 i knew someone knew something about porsches.
hes like you wanna race? i said my car wasnt warmed up yet and i didnt wanan embarrace him, we laughed hystericallt and took off, well after a few seconds he was prety far up the road, he slowed down and complimented my car on unique color, wawed back and turned.
pretty kool

at least you guys got some good experience...on the way to AX yesterday, I saw a 993 Convertible Arena REd (same color as mine) on the horizon. So I was thinking that prolly this guy is on it's way too...I drove right next to him, got his elbow relaxed by the window, got his collar shirt up (like those preppy type) waving my hand, giving him a big thumbs up while driving and that arse didn't even look

I just told my son that prolly he had a fight with his G/F or something
