Default my 02 t/a vs 88 rx7

so yesterday im casually cruising on the freeway at 65 mph listening to music.... all of a sudden, a what looks to be a raggedy 1988 ish rx7 pulls up (paint was all horrible) next to me and starts to jerk his car edging me to race... well, im not a person who turns down a race, so being over confident i just jumped on him while he was cruising at my same speed about 2 cars ahead. As i was running by him, he stopped my pull.... .....
So now i was kinda pissed and at 65 mph i lined up with him, threw my car into 3rd and without honking took off...... surprisingly i couldnt shake him off, i was just 1/2 car ahead of him.... I never shifted and raced till the end of my 3rd gear (3.42 m6) due to traffic.... had to shut down due to traffic....

we went separate roads....

btw im full bolt on with fast 90 intake making 370 whp 385 wtq and gotta say wtf... i was pretty confident that i was gonna win and yet i didnt....
dont know what he had under the hood, lol, what if he was stock

that thing was pretty quick....

even listening to music i could kinda hear his engine, but it did not sound like a v8 though, maybe a good turbo set up
