Default 911...
peddl'in home last night in Tijuana, i was MMOB and i see a silver/ grey 911about 2 cars in front of me.... newer body, not the "997", tho..... 2 lane traffic allows me to creep up along him and i see it has a GT3 wing (not a GT3, tho) and "carerra s" on the back with the 911 turbo bodywork (highly doubt it was a turbo either)..... nice car for sure, tho..... traffic allows us to pace each other at the posted speed limit for a bit and when we had open road, he rolled into it to pass traffic and i did the same, caught up to him quickly, but didn't ride his ***..... i "crept" by him at about 60-65 mph.... slowly, as not to instigate ( 2 lanes again)..... he stayed behind me for about 5 miles or so and when 2 lanes opened up again, he pretty much got on my tail ... so i roll into her smoothly and she opens with a fury... i see his front lift and oooohhhh... it's on....... it was never really a challenge.... i was in 3rd at about 65 when we started and brought her up to 125 in 4th, --at about 115 ish i saw him drop and let off.... he was quite aways back -- not sure how many, but i pulled numerous cars on him.....
caught a light as we pulled near town and never even looked over....(sore loser).... but a middle aged guy in a newer WRX pulled up and gave me a big thumbs up, a hoot, and a holla....lol....

all in good fun.... kinda figured I'd win that one....
