This speed seems lofty for you and slugish for him. I guess it's driver.

No he wasn't.
You say you have a fresh motor in your car as well. Is it a rebuild? How many miles are on it if so?
You said you were racing on the highway. How much skill does it take for someone to mash the gas and shift? You could blame bad driving skills I suppose, however it's hard to drive bad when you are at cruising speed on the highway.
What speed did you get up to anyways? Because if he was actually contending, he would have stomped the **** out of you. The top end on those cars is wayyy wayy above your FD.

To my understanding, RX7s edge out supras in this department, I've seen it a thousand times.

Peak horsepower # and highway rolls to near top speed :
Advantage Supra
Advantage Supra
I understand that despite their heft, Supras handle really well, that's cool. From a dig, time after time I see them lose, whether it's just all the drivers, or too much horsepower, or whatever.
), so it requires more skill on the drivers part.
In my opinion, that has nothing to do with race prepped cars. Rotaries don't blow up while racing professionally any more that other cars (as a matter of fact, less). My .02 cents

LOL. Are you sure your name isn't Greg Schroeder? His FD is apparently ridiculously fast considering the very few mods he has done. He has killed several cars that any other similarly-modded FD would never have a chance at beating.
In all seriousness, if you work at shop that specializes in Porsches, you should know that a 911 Turbo would tear you a new one with the few mods you have done. If you want to keep telling yourself that you beat one, go right ahead. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
