Default Maserati kill

I was crusing down PCH on my way with my girl friend to get some fish tacos when all the sudden I see this Newer Maserati coup(I dont know the year) traveling down PCH. I was accelerating a little getting ready to shift when all the sudden the Maserati then decides to punch it (I guess he heard my open cutouts) . I see his rear end break loose, so I leave it in gear and punch it too, I go through the rest of that gear and then the next as I shot right past him and then I glance at the rear veiw to see the car and that Maserati fork on the front grill as we both shut down,(nothing too crazy, just a short run) but still put about two cars on him. After slowing down he stays behind me then we both turn to make a left at the next light,from my rear veiw I can see him talking to his hottie girl looking like he could care less. Oh well,....it was fun anyway.

I don't know the times, but the stats on the Maserati Coupe: "POWERTRAIN
4.2-liter DOHC 32-valve V-8, 385 hp, 333 lb-ft; 6-sp man, 6-sp man with automated shifting and clutch, Curb weight 3800 lb" (Car and Driver). Looks like it would be a good race for the GTO's and CTS-V's.

a Maserati kill is real respectable! whenever i get my mods complete, i want to run this red Ferrari 360 Modena that is always flying around near the 360 I-30 interchange in DFW.
