Question 1996 Cobra vs 1986 Porshe 944

I was going back to car from Super D and I see the people I now hang out with over across the parking lot. I see a 1986 Porsche 944his was black and had what looked like 17 or 18 inch tires, fart can exhaust (sounded good for some reason), tint, and some REAL low profile tires. He revs and you could hear the turbo spool. That is such a cool sound, unless it comes from a diesel.
He takes off, I follow him to the big hill that exits on to Lakeland. I HATE that hill!!!!!!!!!!!!! You roll backwards REAL quick. He gets on and I get on right behind him. I edge up to his back bumper, where I see the "Turbo" emblem. Then it hit me. "Uh-oh, going up against a PORSCHE!!!!"
Screw it!!!
I drop it down into second going about 30 MPH, I would have gone for first but the car won't let me, wouldn't have been a good idea anyways. I hear him hit it. Expecting to get left behind, I was surprised to see I start to pass, as I hit third. We went up to about 80 MPH I would guess and I was able to get in front of him by about half a car. He pulls beside gives a wave and heads on.
Now the part that I got pissed about. Some guy in a Maxima( I think) goes by as I get in the turn lane revs his engine at me, flashes hazards, and flips me off. I takeoff after him. I get on his *** and rev. He slows down beside a Church bus and won't speed up. he even starts to SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After a mile of him going 45 MPH in a 55 MPH I get in a turn lane and he waves, while his passenger flips me off. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate getting flybys and I hate people like that. I tried looking for specs on that Porsche, I think it is that Porsche, and I have found some wierd crap.

One place says 0-60 in 6.1
While the other says 0-60 in 5.4
That is one hell of a difference. Could the car I raced just have been sick, or is the first time right?
