When you say a play in 3rd, do you know what gear he was in? It should by rights toast you.
The rear is tricky unless you're very small, I'd say it was for short journeys and kids only.
No idea what gear he was in, he was bullying some poor chap in a audi TTS, and at first I didnt know where the almight bellow was coming from, i thought it was a bike or something but then clocked it was him, caught up, the TTS moved out the way and we both gunned it, when I changed to 4th he still had revs left and carried on going but didnt leave me like he expected going by his face.
Also I think it was a tiptronic as I think it sounded like it changed down a cog when he booted it.
420hp, 1600kg the 996 turbo is isnt it, so result was as I expected, but surely not as he expected lol.
997 turbo with pdk is a complete nother ball game, I wouldnt want to embarrass myself lol
