Ah yes... Three great kills on the freeway

Driving home sunday night ( 38F) I came up on 3 car-club cars running together on the interstate. New Beetle turbo, Eagle Talon, WRX. I racced them all from about 50- till I pulled away. The Beetle was the suprise though. He hung with me till about 85 then he shifted gears and I just pulled hard, to about 4 cars at 100. Next was the Talon. I heard a turbo so i figured it would be a good race. I pulled after 75 with him, sucky driver? who knows. 3 cars at 90. Next was the WRX, I think it was modded too. I knew that the WRX has no advantage on me once we are rolling. We went from about 50 to 115. We were even till about 90 then i slowly started pulling on him. By 115 I was pulling hard. What a great night in the coupe. Now I really want a pulley. hehe

Yeah I beat him. I know he was trying cause of the way he was shifting. But once you are roling the WRX looses its AWD advantage. Not to mention I don't think its the most aerodynamic car out there, and at the speeds we were at that could make a difference.
