Despite its 4100 pound curb weight, the G8 GT pulls just 11.3 pounds for every horsepower, where your 911 lugs 15.3 lbs/hp.
In other words, he wasn't full throttle through the whole pull. Which isn't suprising given that your "3rd to 5th gear pull" would equate to 94 mph in 3rd @ 6300 shift, and pulling to your 110 mph top speed. I'm sure he gave enough to take you initially then let off, hoping not to get caught (let alone racing) at triple digit speeds.
In an official drag strip setting, you'd see nothing but taillights from a G8 GT

Your 0-60 times for the 1978 911SC are WAAAY off, and in the fast direction. Their 0-60 times were closer to 7 seconds, your 1/4 time sounds about right. I'm going from memory of the 1984 Carrera when it was current, which was 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and it was a lot quicker than the SC, stock-to-stock. The Carrera did the 1/4 in about 14 flat at just over 100 mph.
