i agree
numbers don't match up. Even if he was a horrible driver, 3 cars is just stretching it

IF it is was a Cayman S you would have died 4 sure from a stop. From a say 40mph roll.....you may have had a chance to about 80-90 after that you would have been toast. Caymans look good and all but I really dont think they are worth the money. Go FI and you will nuke a Cayman with ease. Good Kill!

you're not even spelling caymAn right so i doubt this happened.

they trap 5-6 mph higher than a stock S2000. it MAY have been possible for you to get him right off of the line (through first gear). but the fact that you say you were pulling farther away through each gear tells me that he didnt just mess up the launch. if he had messed up the launch, you wouldve gotten him for a gear, but he wouldve started to pull back on you opposed to you pulling further away so that option is thrown out the window.

so

yet again, another post by a member that just joined less than 2 months ago and has already beaten a car that is OBVIOUSLY much quicker than an s2k. Next thing we will see posts about 1 month old s2k owners beating Z06s....

pretty sure he could shift as fast cause he looked like he was in his late 40's to early 50's
What does how old the guy is have to do with how fast he can shift?
