Default first time racing with C5

I haven't been goaded into a street race in a long time and never in my C5 but I finally let my inner teenager out and ran a G37 yesterday. I have a 2000 C5 MN6 with bolt on's and tune. Yesterday leaving work a G37 pulls beside me and starts pacing me down US1 near Cocoa. After a mile or so of him right beside me speeding up and slowing down to match me even we both stop even at a light. We leave from a light nice and easy and I hear him go to full throttle, I decide why the hell not and stomp the gas while still in 2nd. My TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVE light comes on and by the time I go to third he is more than a good ways behind. Then I get the ever so popular ricer fly by with his hazards coming on. It felt good to be a kid again but then I started to act my age and began looking around for cops. Good times.

Everybody knows the guy who puts his hazards on after a flyby is the winner. Good death!

It is "suppose" to mean that you won the race when you turn on your hazards after.

Dipshits who are too butthurt that they got their *** beat will put it on to feel better about their inner loser self.
Ricer flyby standard protocol...

Funny, I was looking at a G37, WRX STi, and the CTS-V when I was in the market for a new car. While I LOVE the styling of the G37, it just didn't do it for me in the performance dept & seemed only marginally faster than my modded Spec V Sentra. Such a let down.
