Thumbs up 40Mph: My 300e vs a 05 Civic Ex

Well, here i am today, on my way home, and im in a 30Mph zone leaving work and this 05 Civic is riding my ***. I sped up to 35Mph and they kept on me, we hit the 40Mph zone and they pull up besides me and does his ricey "rev-rev" BS and i nod, thinking, "im gonna get killed, my trannys gonna slip... and hes got hight rev four banger" what the hell, i need to rebuild it anyways, more of a reason if i need to tow it home... So i drop from drive to 3rd and stomp it, we both take off, i hit 70mph and pop it into drive, it cathes, i am excited!!! The car lunges forward and i hit 3200RPMs and my torque curves kicking in and we went from him leading to me having 2 cars... i hit 110Mph and let off. Not too bad for a leakie rear main and a slip in 3rd and 4th gear
:-D

Matt
