Default GT and WRX go down

First one started off just as i entered the hi-way. A blacked out new mustang came up on my rear and kept dropping back a few cars and then gunning it and get on my rear then let off. Well the 3rd time I thought id just punch it and see what happens. So as he's flyin up on me I stomp the pedal (goin about 75) and to my luck it doesnt downshift to 2nd but to Drive instead and he pulls around me and gains a car on me in the left lane by 100 and then by 110 im dead even and 120 he's in my rear view. He then jumps over 3 lanes and exits and we exchange waives

Second one was just as i got off and was headed home on the hi-way when i come up on a WRX with a dude and his girlfriend. As i pass i through him a rev and he doesn't follow until a lil bit after. I see him coming up so I move over a lane and this time i manually downshifted to 2nd and he comes to along side and nods and i hear him downshift. I give it 3 honks and we both punch it.

I instantly pull a half car on him and we stay even up to 100 from 70. We both exit quickly cause we flew by a trooper sittin on the side of the road! He follows me to a side road and i ask him what he has. He says he just got engine back in and its got cams, bigger turbo, running 10lbs of boost blah blah blah. It also had a carbon fiber hood that looked straight out of a video game or something.

We line up from a 40 roll and i put it in 2nd cause i know if i put it in 1st i wont get traction at all on this road. I let him get the jump and he pulls a car through second and i shifted to drive early and gain the car back by 80 and keep pullin up to 100. I get along side of him again and he smillin, says he aint got nothin after 10 psi, i smile and waive and he turns off.

Seems alot of people around here are good sports about racin and really dont act like its a freakin dick measuring contest like some people do, props to both of them for that!

Nice runs, dude. Sounds like fun. It's always better when the people you're racing are cool about it.
