Must have been his first manual car and did not know how to get going from a stop properly, so he gave it too much gas. Then he started driving normally, looked over, and wondered why you were punching your car so hard.

What speed did this end at?

I've no other explanation since we both know that it isn't much of a race.

997 Carrera Tiptronic 0-60 is 5.5 so not that impossible for an AP2 to stay close to that sort of speed so maybe it was the auto?

the 997 carrera base model only comes in 325 horsepower. Although he has some advantage hp to weight, if he shifted slow, I can see him not pulling away from you especially in lower gears.

yeah he launched like a half a sec first, but no matter what i could still say i was even with a 997, just because i was, and for everyone that says he wasn't trying, i know, either that or he didn't know how to drive.
