Default 997 carrera s not so quick off the lights as i thought

just had a very quick blast off the lights against a new 911 carrera s. Managed to pull 1/2 a car length up to 70. I can understand why i immediately pulled on him but thought he would pull once he had traction, i imagine the guy wasnt a great driver. I would have thought if we were up against each other on a track day he would start pulling a lot after 70. Either way im pleased with the old scooby, apparently unlike the posrche driver who decided he needed to race off cutting people up and driving like a right idiot. I chose to leave him to it and save petrol

im not one for losing my licence, having a big crash or killing someone for no point. also he'd probably have started pulling after 70 lol
