First time posting on this thread so ill try to be descriptive as possible. I was driving home tonight on the 91 and noticed a silver evolution. Im new to the import scene coming from a toyota tacoma but I had heard to stay away from them. I just got my car last tues and so far i am loving it. Well anyways i see the evo on the 91 and he trys to pull even with me on the lane next to me. I didnt want to do anything on the 91 for it was sort of conjested and we were in a bad stretch of road. He decided to hit interstate 15 south which was the same way I was planning on going. The road was wide open and as we merged into the left lanes he started to swurve across the two left lanes. I was like ok wtf ill give him a run i dont have anything to lose. At this point he stopped swurving and i was right behind him. We were going about 60 so i figured i should try to get him to speed up to about 80. I started tailing him and when we hit about 80 I down shifted into 4th and pulled into the lane on the left. I hit vtech right away when i shifted and as soon as i switched lanes he gunned it as well. I had like a 1/2 car jump on him . We stayed that way all the way to about 110 and I started to slightly pull to about 2-3 cars, i shut it down and was so suprised. I hit about 130 (wide open roads just me and him didnt put anyone in danger but ourselfs). So i slowed back down to about 80 or so and this time we started to go up this long hill and this time he got the jump and had a car up to 110 where I slowly crept past him at about 130 again and switched over thru his lane to the one on the right of him and shut it down. I got off at the next exit. I know someone will call BS but Im not gonna lie about this. Happened about 30 mins ago if anyone knows the guy he had a nice size dent on his passenger side rear door, ask him he'll tell the same story. Each race i shifted to 5th and shut it down when i was about to shift to 6th.

I will say you are not the first post or the last post to win against an EVO. I just don't want to get caught from a stop.
