He may have had another 20% in reserve, he may have been a more timid driver, he may not have been pushing hard out of courtesy to his passenger. I'd say that unless you've done major mods to your '86 (doesn't sound like it) that his car should be able to out-corner and out brake yours. His could have been a 2.5L or 2.7L in which case, you would have had a chance at out running him in a straight line (but it would have been close)

Those big heavy wheels that you are running look good, but actually hurt your handling (too heavy).

You never know, maybe he's a serious track junky or driving instructor and had another 30% in reserve that he didn't break out because he didn't want you driving off of a corner tail first behind him because you were trying to keep up, or maybe he's an old guy with no high speed driving experience and was able to do as well as he did because his car handles better than yours and he was scared spitless the whole time.

Maybe he is *****ing to his buddies about the guy in the old Porsche that ruined his drive today by hugging his azz.

THere's just no way to tell now, is there.
