405 freeway carrera vs sl55

I was driving on the freeay this morning and i saw a red carera convertible driving about 75 mph in front of me. i was going around 90 and i came up behind him and slowed down. when he saw me behind him, he dropped into a lower gear and TRIED to pull away. anyway i wanted to pass him, buy there was a car on his right, and a double solid yellow line on the left for the carpool lane. so i did what anyone in my position would do. i pulled into the carpool lane and passed him. by the time i looked at my speedometer i was going 125, and he was way behind me. i love my car. so i slowed down and we gave eachother a thumbs up. for the next 10 minutes we were cruising at about 95 through traffic. you can definately see the difference between the nice porche guy and the ferrari driver that was a *****.
