Default fun with a C5
On my way to a B-day party yesterday I was exiting the Freeway when a silver convertible c5 pulls up next to me and throws a few revs. I ignored it at first thinking that he may have been in a hurry cause there were two cars ahead of us. But he continued on for about 1/2 mile down the road. So we were at maybe a 40mph roll then we both punched it. I got the jump and kept the lead for a few then i shut it down. I gave him thumbs up but he just gave me a real nasty look. i guess he was a sore loser

He thought he was the Bomb with his rag top and I guess you rubbed him the wrong way when he didn't beat you.

I got handed by a silver WRX-STI on the Beltway a while ago and I had respect for the car and driver. The car looked bone stock. It didn't even have tinted windows. I did come to find out that it has a bigger turbo and gas.

Those WRX-STI's are very quick stock what is it like mid 13's or high 13's stock. Crazy stuff there. Hopefully i'll be there in 5,000lb truck after the radix install,headers and a tune.
