Default my first encounter

I just got home a few minutes ago. It's a little past midnight and as I was driving home from my girlfriends house, I see a white convertible pull out onto the street up ahead of me. He prepares to stop at the red light...the speed limit in this area is about 50mph

So I pull up next to him and just as I'm about to stop, the light turns green. Not knowing that this old fart was going to gun it, I drove at a constant pace right along side him. As soon as I realized he wanted to run me, I step on it....2nd gear redline, 3rd gear redline...i was drivin at least 80mph

the lane merges into 1...

the whole time....i had about 1/2-1 car on him

i came home feelin pretty good

"sorry officer......i thought i was about to get off this ticket for doing about the speed limit........about what speed was the limit again sir/maam?"

Good kill! but i thought the Z3's were slower than that?

1/2 a car?! Either the Z3 had a wet shot or you were shifting at 7k RPM.
