Default Porsche 944 thinks he's cool

so i'm driving down a 1 lane back road just minding my business then all of a sudden i see an 80s Porsche 944 on my ass. he's super close and driving spiritedly. it's a fun, hilly, twisty road. i speed up and leave him behind like nothing through the twisties. he turns left in to one of the neighborhoods, but he tries to drift it so that (i guess) he leaves the "race" in style. i look in my side view mirror and see his car spin out of control and he does a 360. i laugh my ass off and consider turning back to see if he was ok. i decided not to because it's really hard to turn around on that road and i just keep going.

although it was an older Porsche it wasn't that exciting, but either way, it was a P-car that spun out of control after i dusted him

Somethign of this nature happened to me a few weeks back. I was driving home from Wal Mart one night while it was raining, and came to a red light. This older Camaro rolled up beside me and gave me a couple revs and I did the same, all in good fun right. Well the light turns green and I roll off normal a lot of TQ means no racing in the rain. Well Camaro boy nails it and spins past me, and when he caught second he lost ll control of his car and ended up in the grass off to the right of the road.

There is some guy in my neighborhood that had an 80's porsche though Im not sure which model...convertible, kinda looks like a 911 but I dont think they came with drop tops??. He loves to rev at everyone. Anyone have any clue as to which one Im referring to? If so can an ap2 take it?

There are several 911 variants from the 80's:

911 SC
3.0l, 182hp
Much slower than S2000

911 Carrera
3.2l, 200hp-214hp
A little slower than S2000

Carrera 4 (964)
3.6l, 247hp
About the same quickness as S2000

911 Turbo
3.3l, 282hp
Quite a bit quicker than S2000
