Talking another notch in the dash.......

Traveling to work the other morning I spotted a very wide Porsche up ahead making its way through traffic. I get up closer to him and notice it is a Carrera 2S, albeit with a fixed wing, turbo style. I slowly go around him while giving him the thumbs up and make my way (efficiently) past him and through traffic to a long clearing on 495 South towards Tysons, VA. He grins and gets on my tail, so now its on, I lead him out to the clearing and we start from 50 to about 90 and let off, dead even, then traffic tightens up again, next clearing we start at about 50 again this time we had some room and held it to just over 120 (my sweet spot), at 120mph I had about 1.5 cars and walking....we repeated this one more time with the same results. I slowed and let him catch up and he gave me a big thumbs up and a big smile and gets off onto the toll road. Man that was fun, I have walked carrera 4's, but never a carrera 2(2 wheel drive, less drag on drivetrain) Anyways, just thought I would share, be careful out there!!!!!
