Default Picking on S2000

I was on McFadden minding my own business waiting for the light to turn left on Uclid. What seem to be a Mercedes E300 behind me was reving to get my attention. His engine sounds pretty loud so it gotta be modified. We turned left but there were other cars infront so all we did was showing off with quick short distant acceleration and reving. Everytime he accelerated, the exhaust screamed like hell. I mean the sound was really scary and loud. I think he has a BOV tapped to his exhaust. The passenger gave me a sign to follow and I nod OK. We were waiting to turn right on Westminster and I saw a cop waiting for the light to turn green heading to the same direction that we plan to go. I decided to give up the race and go straight on Uclid. Guess what guys, these two guys made a right turn on Westminster and then made a u turn to follow me on Uclid. I was thinking... these guy really want to race me. This time again the passenger gave me the sign to follow them and we made a right on Trask. This time there was no car and we were both at a red light. We both rev our engine and waited for the light. The light turn green and I did a pretty good launch at 4K. I have comptech supercharged so anything for than 4K will results in lots of wheel spinning and lose traction. By end of 1st rear I saw his car like 3 car length behind. By end of 2nd rear I was thinking shoot what happened? They were way way behind. I thought may be he missed shift or something. At the next light he turned right and both of them did not even look at me. I guess they picked on the wrong car .

These two guys were in early 20. They were definitely trying to race me. His has a stainless steel exhaust that I saw in many souped up integras. When he was toying with short acceleration, it seemed pretty fast. I still can't forget the screaming loud noise that came out of his exhaust. I don't mean just nhis exhaust is loud, I mean as he accelerate I can hear the loud exhaust plus the screaming high pitch sound. I think he has turbo installed. When I was showing off accelerating with my supercharged S2000, he did not shows any sign of nervous. He had the confident look in his face.

Maybe it was the Mercedes supercharger, the "Kompressor". A lot of sport model Mercedes come with stock superchargers called Kompressors. So if the car had a "Kompressor" plate on the back then it was definitely supercharged, or maybe the guy took the plate off, who knows, or maybe it was an aftermarkter turbo/super.

But anyways, unless his car ran low 13s, he had no chance against your car, bwahaha.

Maybe he was playing sound effects really loudly on his car stereo?

How do you spin tires with launches between 4-6K RPM's? The Comptech SC doesn't make any noticable power below VTEC so where's the extra power coming from? I don't think Wesmaster can do that and he should have the fastest SC'ed S2 on the planet.

Yes, Wes has a clutch but there's a HUGE difference between 4K RPM's and 7-8K RPM's.
