Your dad is probably just not familiar with his Porsche yet. Give him some time and I'm sure he'll leave you on the twisties eventually.

An RX-8 with a turbo shouldn't have a lot of trouble keeping up with a non-turbo Porsche in the "twisties." Actually I would expect the 8 to be easier to handle.
