Default Guess he didn't expect this from a 4 door boat

So I've been dying to see what the gtp will do since I got it, and the only things that would ever try to race me were pickups and civics. Well I went out for a drive tonight looking for something, anything that would give me some kind of idea what this tank would do. After about an hour of nothing I called it a night and started the long drive home. Make it halfway home and I decide to get some t-bell. As I get off the interstate onto the smaller highway into town I noticed what I thought was a black Mazda 6, so I just set the cruise and went on my way. Well as I come even I notice it's an rx8. I've heard they aren't super fast but I figured why not. After traffic turned off he got beside me and said "45" so I dropped down and he honked it off. All 3 runs I let off at 85, and all 3 runs I was atleast a buss ahead when I let off. After or last run we got stopped at a red light. I yelled out the window: " awe **** time for a dig". He waited for about 10 seconds and proceded to turn off the highway while trying to drift. Sore loser? I know I had fun in my boat of a family car. Maybe next time I'll run him in her grand am. Might atleast be a fair race for him
