finally..a run
Finally got someone to run with me. I got behind a guy in a WRX to day passed him he drove hard to catch up and slowed beside me as I was getting ready to exit. I bit, and moved back on the highway he moved to a long open area (ahead of traffic) I figured he would wait untill I was even with him and he would slow down. I moved slowly up on him at about 90mph. much to my suprise he guns it just as my front bumper gets even with his back bumper. with my reaction delay I start about a half a car behind at about 90mph. I reel him in and by the time we are at 120-125 hes about half a car behind me. funny thing is when we were even I started pulling harder i looked over and I thought he was shutting down and was just about to pull up myself then I saw and heard him shift and realized he was still pushing. The whole thing only took about 10-15 seconds but the first half of the crawl up the side of his car seemed like it took forever. We were starting to catch up with a car and my radar dectector went off so I shut down. Chated with the guy a the exit light, cool guy, he said he never raced a AMG, (he knew what an AMG was) he said he figued he would loose but no shame in losing to and AMG. Mutual thumbs up and we went our seperate ways.

STis arent supercharged, they are turbo.

Nice kill! It must have been the STI, as you would have pulled much harder on the standard WRX. Actually, it may even have been a slightly modded STI, as I would have expected you to pull a stock one a little harder than you did.
Anyways, nice, clean run. Wish they were all so civil!
