He was romping on it a bit, and we ended up lined up at a light. I went flat out in 2 gears, but he was literally a block away by the time I hit 50mph. I cannot actually visualize how fast that thing moved from a dead stop, while not making any noise nor any tire squeal. This was before the PS4S, I don't know what he had, but I cannot understand how any non-R tire can accelerate that quickly.


I assume that when you buy one, you tear ass like a fool for the first 3 days, then it probably gets boring.
Right, I don't redline 1st gear in the boxster from every light, but it's nice to be able to if I want to or feel like I need to.
