C320 vs TL-S vs 325ci vs Accord v6 vs C240

I was cruising at 70 mph (cruise control) on I-280 North with my c320 and takes the road easily about half an hour ago until the highway 85 merge suddenly there was this 325 ci high beaming me and gives me a middle finger! I was like ..... Ok ... What did I do wrong? Maybe some idiots. I let him go by around 3 car length and suddenly a c240 zoomed passed me at a blaring speed, I was like OK...... thats a 240. I can do better than that, considering i just owned this car for 3 months. I push my throttle and played a little bit with Tiptronic and by El Monte Road I was doing 105mph and won him by 3 car length then slowed down. Looks like the guys behind me are pissed and start passing me. Starting from 325i, V6 accord (ard 2000 model) and The TL-S. I know the TL-S is fast so by Edgewood Road, I was neck to neck with the 325 and TL-s and long gone are the two cars (Accord and C240). We cruise around 100 mph and reached 380 and the two guys starts pulling. I never knew the 325 was that fast. I wish i was driving my E55 now! Well I keep to the left lane and floored it and by Hickey Blvd Exit, i was winning against the 325 and neck to neck with the TL-S @ 125 mph until suddenly my V1 beeps (Ka Band). I keep braking and downshifting by using my tip until 75 mph when a cop car blazed passed me and pull the TL over by Daly City/ Westlake District. I was relieved! I could be pulled over too! One thing that i could not believe that the C320 has respectable handling at a high speed with everything stock! Oh well I hope I dont flame anyone here! I consider today as my lucky day and probably will never do it again! I know that C320 is not fast and will be smoked by a dozen other cars out there but I am impressed! Well I wish the guy with the TL-S good luck! I appologize for my bad english as English is my second langguage! Happy Motoring Guys!

Cheers to the V1, saved my *** ~4 times going up I-5 yesterday from L.A. I found a stealth Camaro CHP with the V1! It the thing beeps, I find the cop and we settle at his pace going ~75mph for nearly 10 minutes. Some hotshot behind me in a Honda Pilot is wondering why I'm going so "slow" (I'm in the cruising lane, cop in the slow lane) and wants to make a pass. I try to warn the guy by just staying in the lane, but he insisted on riding my *** , so I just had to show him why. I signal change lanes right behind the all white camaro and mr. pilot zooms by the cop going near 85, lights come on and I get back in the fast lane .

Surprisingly these cars really do stick to the road ~100+ - this was in the rain too (though I5 is a straight shot).

Maybe he saw me speeding at 80 mph but decided to chase the faster car anyway!
