Default First Victim Down [RIP Firehawk]

So i just bought my car last week, and ive been looking for a fight ever since the day i signed the title. Finally was driving in Lake City, Fl the other day and i see this Red Firehawk come off of a side road and get behind hes weaving in and out of traffic. He gets in front of me and follow ofcourse thinking hes going to get on I-75, well my buddy in the car with me talks me out of getting on the Interstate insuing that the Firehawk wasn't getting on.
Well he did, so i thought i lost him, soon enough though as i was turning around from a dealership here is the same Firehawk this time he waves me to the Interstate. He gets on the on ramp alot sooner than i do, and hes going fairly fast, i hit it in 2nd and nearly lose it. (Traction is a bit of a problem atm) So i catch 3rd and he continues to drive at about 90mph in a 60 , which i thought was pretty stupid.
Finally he slows down, were at about 55-60 on I-75 when he gives the go ahead he downshifts, and i just floor it and jump 3 car lengths on him quick, i let out of it and let him pass me and i hit it again and pull him hard. I turn around at the Ft. White exit and get back on I-75 this time im going about 35 in the interstate as he pulls up to me and we hit it again, i pull about 3 on him in 2nd and miss 3rd, his nose comes up to my window when i catch 3rd and pull another 2 on him at least, we run to about 110 and i let out of it and he just keeps on keepin on to about 130 i would assume and i never saw him again.
Not sure if the Firehawk was stock i would assume so, all i know it was an m6.

I just bought a 01' Formula with 441rwhp, and 415 rwtq.

Nice kills. Careful not to lose it, though. That's some decent power and you wouldn't want to put all that power into a wall.

No honks, though?

Yes i Agree, that was actually the first time i got into the car and pushed it past 5grand, caught me off guard needless to say.And..
Yes i bought a Radar as the first investment lol. As for the honks yes thats the rule but as soon as i hit mine once he took off lol. He was a older guy im assuming he wasnt up to par on the "standard.

Sorry for the long delay was in transition back to Iraq But only a month or so left, so times a tickin and then lots of
