Default Raced a turboed car

On the Hutch pkwy last night, some guy was riding my ***. So I move into the right lane (only a 2 lane road) and he flies past and I hear his turbo. Still didn't know what kind of car it was, he removed all badging and changed the look of it. Couldn't get a clear run because of traffic and he was weaving in and out of it. So I hung back and just followed a few cars back. Managed to pull on him pretty easily when the highway split and I was telling my friend that this guy is gonna get owned. Still follow and we have a nice opening, I pull along side him and he takes the hit, I reel him in and fly past him like he put the car in reverse, must have been doing 120-130, couldn't look down because the road is twisty (who said Fbods can't handle?). I put the car into OD and just cruised the rest of the way, while he gets mad and weaves in and out of traffic. Damn my brakes got hot, you could smell the fire from them!!

No I don't, my friend was saying that it looked like an RSX but RSX's don't have taillights or headlights like this car had.

Funny thing is that I don't usually go home that way. I had missed my exit before.

No it wasn't an eclipse or rsx. And it didn't have popup headlights, it was like a custom body package he had on there. I've never seen the headlights before, at first I thought it was an exotic and I moved over to see what it was and when he went past I just said what the hell is that. It was a boxy shape like an Evo but it wasn't an Evo, it had no spoiler either.

Let me go into some detail about the headlights since he was pretty close to me tailgating in the beginning. They were oval and situated like an acura integra, 2 lights on each side but not round and all 4 lights were on but not highbeams.

Car was also a 2 door.

No that car is too sleek, this car was boxy like an evo but it wasn't an evo.

Why post a kill story when you don't even know what you raced? A turbo car really narrows it down.

when we raced, I got off by the whitestone, and he kept goin into queens. From what I remember, it was a dark silver car, with exhaust (not fart cannon, but you know, and nice performance exhaust), and a good sized spoiler. He might have had blueish headlights, but I dont remember for sure. I know for sure it was a turbo though, the bov was pretty loud. It was a fast car too. We just ran back and forth up to about 130, we never really got a chance to line up and go.

Yes that was the same guy, his headlights did look weird and his bov was very loud. He would never race heads up, he would take the hit first but I reeled him in pretty quickly. You running a stick or auto?
