Suprised a C5 Last Night

On my way up to Palm Beach I was on I95 in the lane just to the right of the HOV lane that was ending when a C5 attempted to pass me on the ending lane. I punched it to see what he had and he didn't have enough to overtake as I started pulling on him. I got over a lane so he had plenty of rom, didn't want to be a weeny. I spent most of the time behind him and everytime he mashed the throttle I followed suit and had to brake to keep from rearending him The few times we were side by side I pulled on him... I'm pretty sure his C5 was an A4, but I was still surprised it wasn't stronger. When we got off on the same exit I rolled my window down to ask him about his car, but he didn't oblige...guess he was a poor sport

This cool Florida weather sure does good things for the C32 :p
