Default The Fast and the SERIOUS

It's about 11:30 am, I am on the outskirts of my town on a 2 lane road(41) at a red light. This black STI pulls up next to me. He didnt rev it up or anything. SO i thought i should turn the traction control off just incase he tries to pull a fast one. The light turns green and i waited to see if he was gonna jump on it, but he didnt. So I kept driving normally. I got to about 35mph and starts to get in it. I downshift to 1st and jump on it pulling up to him. I pull away from him and at about 70 mph i am about 4-5 cars away from him, and I turn my hazards on just for a laugh. I made a you turn and went back towards the south. The very next week its around 2 pm, and I am coming up to the same red light. I hear a BOV and sure enough I look in my rearview mirror and ITS THE SAME GUY. SO this time when the light turns green I hit punch it and so does he. We get about an equal launch and then I start pulling away about the same distance as last time. I turned my hazards on again but this time I slowed down and he got next to me and just shot me a bird and took off! I guess I pissed him of. LOL

hahaha, he's scratching his head going "man, i saw this BOV in F&F, why ain't I going super fast!?" I guess he doesnt realize they have around 220whp, not much in the way of power other than a launch to 50.

Well believe it or not people who own those Rally cars beat most of the competition they face especially on the street with that AWD. When they run into real "American Muscle" it's a humbling experience for some of them.

Yeah, he's got a turbo so you're not supposed to be as fast. That's what pissed him off.
