Default Is this a death

So I'm coming home on the hwy and notice a srt-4. I ride by him and his passenger waves me down. By this time I'm ahead by a car and I hear him down shift and go. By the time my tranny down shifts he's pulling past me. Instantly I start to gain and when I go to pass him he lets off. His passenger again ask me to slow to a 60mph roll. So now rolling at 60 I down shifted into 3 and when his buddy counts down to three I go and again he pulls a little bit and when I start to gain by 100mph he slows down. So I guess it's considered a death.

Sounds like he let off before you passed him so he could say that he won..Sounds like a ricer.

My car did down shift into 2nd...he said he had a bov and exhaust. Not sure if he's lying but don't believe that. His buddy got it on his phone I think it should be on YouTube soon. If/when I find it I'll post it up and you'll see what I'm saying.

I think he was full of **** to tell you the truth. He only pulled until my car was able to downshift then I'd stop his pull and start making a solid gain but he would brake before I could pass him. I would start to pass him at 85-90 or so. He did it to me twice.
