Default One kill and One TIE.

Well the kill first naturally.
Last night me and my chick were heading to her house on the 118. When this Red vert. mid 90's mustang GT gets on the freeway as i'm passing an entrance ramp. Well i see this dude hauling to catch up, when at me passenger quarter panel he slows and pulls up easy to line up. I goose it to see if he is really game, well he drops a gear and goes, (i'm going about 70) so i dump it into 3rd and punch it. I immediately pull back the car that he took and put another 1 before the shift to Fourth. Hit third and pull another 2-3 then shut down before redline, cuz i got my chick screaming in my ear.
As i'm deceling he tries again from like 100mph. (ricer) So leave it in fourth and mash the throttle again. I stop his fly-by and pull a few before he gives up. Had to hear it the whole way home but it was worth it.


will update with the STI tie later.
K quick version. Newer STI with the dual wing on freeway by porter ranch. Two pulls first from 70mph. Pull dead even to 125mph.
Second pull from 65 to 130mph. Again pull dead even with this ******. It was cool though, we gave each other thuimbs and went our ways.

HAHAHA nice. My chick was bitchin at me for being late while i was writting that, hench the short version of the STi story. Good catch, supposed to be fourth obviously.
Changed.

Oh and the STI was modded, don't by how much but it had Exhaust and Intake w/ BOV. No FMIC though so it couln't have been that much. His Tubro spooling was loud as **** though.
