Default Encounter with a challenger srt8

On my way to work today on the highway I was cruising top down and what not when I see an orange challenger srt8 a ways back so I slow down about to check it out. Really nice looking car. He gives me a nod and when the coast is clear we slow down to about 40mph. Now I know I was going to get my ass handed to me but I wanted to see that thing go Sure enough he lets me do the 3 honks and I get a very small jump that lasts about a second or so till he starts pulling. I was about a car and a half till 100mph where he was just gone after that. I wouldve kept going but im pretty sure my top down was hurting me up top and my exit was coming up. We both got off at the same exit and ran into each other at the light. He was a real cool guy saying he just got the car and said he wouldve gotten an S2000 if they had a little more power

"said he wouldve gotten an S2000 if they had a little more power"

Yeah because the two cars really are so similar otherwise.
He was trying to be nice but couldn't resist slapping you with the back of his hand on the follow through.
