Default killed by an sti

i was on my way home a few nights ago and was turning off the highway when i noticed a black sti with his emergency lights on so i got in the next lane not paying attention and saw him jumping a lil bit and downshift.well i have a 01 SS with nothing more than a p&p tb,and noticed he had an upgraded exhaust.so i kept it in drive and waited til i heard him take off at about thirty.we were even til about 60 then he pulled but i stayed on his bumper the whole time.that turbo was freaking loud.but eh who cares no one saw me lose lol.

If those guys get a tune, they're pretty mean, if they get cams then our top end advantage goes away, then a turbo and meth kit you better have a deep pocket. Nice death I have full bot-ons and lost to an evo the other night seems a cam is in order for the both of us.
