My little c240 raced a GS300 + surprise!!!
Last night after leaving the Hard Rock after watching the Miami Heat win I had an encounter with a Lexus GS300. I was minding my own business going about 45-50mph and this GS300 pops up next to me. I got kind of annoyed because I speed up a little and he sped with me. So I slow down to 40mph we look at each other and we knew it was on
. We start from 40mph and I had him a fender all the way (about 2 1/2 blocks). The dude said that he has an intake and exhaust. And when I was about to tell him what I have in my car (all this happened while driving) my V1 went off like crazy. When I look up it was 4 cop cars 
. We were going about 70mph on a 45 zone. 2 cop cars followed me and 2 on the other dude. The lights go on and you know the drill. I got a ticket going 65mph on a 45mph zone.
The ticket is $205.50 but as always I get a lawyer. I'll call my lawyer after I get out of jury duty on Monday.
I never thought that my underpowered 2.6 6spd. and actually be right there with a GS300. Unless his car is not running right and I think theres a weight difference as well.
Just thought I would share this.

All 4 cop cars were hidden so while driving at night its hard to see them.

nice kill...but i think you got lucky with just a ticket...in soCal where i live, if a cop see's any 2 cars speeding next to each other even if your not racing, they'll impound your car threaten you for racing and sometimes take your car away from you permanetly!!!
