Post New S2k vs. New Carrerra4S

Okay so the second day after I bought my S2k I decided to get out and take a drive to get some miles on it. When I say a Carrerra4S take a quick cut through traffic. I pulled up next to him, and say an old guy with sunglasses on. He looked my way so I complimented his car, because the 4S is my favorite porsche.

Me " Beautiful car."
Him " Thankx man"
Me "4S is my favorite."
Him "Is it, well I prefer the turbo, but something about the look of this one made me buy it."
Me " Ya it's sweet.
Him " thankx."

Light turns green and the guy launches. That thing can really take off. He cut in front of me and stopped at the next light. I came up behind him and revved once. He looked into his rear view, hgave me a smile, then we took off. I got a bit of a rolling start behind him because I stopped a bit away.Either way the guy started gaining right off the bat. For some reason though( weather he miss shifted or not) I pulled on him a bit when I shifted to second. Either way we went on for a couple of blocks, and I stayed on his butt throughout the whole thing while we cut through traffic. (This was while there was normal traffic, as I'm sure if the streets were clear he would have murdered me). At the end of it the guy had to take a left so I waved him off, and he gave me a dumbs up.
Don't know if it's really a good story, but it was my first race with the car, and being that it was against a Carrerra4S, and that it was fairly close I thought it may be interesting.

Sounds like lots of fun man! Especially since the guy in the 4S wasnt a dick.
