Two encounters over the last two days...

Came up on a previous gen z06 doing about 80. As I got behind him I hear the downshift and exhaust start screaming. Moved over into the next lane and pulled ahead rather easily. We went from about 80 to 110 and had to shut it down so it only lasted a few seconds. This evening I passed a new 911 c4s, had the led tail lights. After I passed him, I saw him start accelerating so I punched it just as he was getting even with me. Pulled on him about the same as the z06. We came up on a few turns and then an on ramp, I figured he would get around in the turns. He obviously wasn't a very good driver because I pulled him in the turns and completely annihilated him on the on ramp. We both got off at the next exit but I was already stopped at the light by the time he got there. Two satisfying victories and the only real challenges that I have in the two months I have owned the beast.
