I came to a red light. Next thing I see is a camaro pull really close to the rear of my car. It was one of the new ones with 310 horse I believe. Defenitely not an SS.

Well light turns green and I just took off normal but as my RPM's clibmed I floored it into second, hes about id say a car length away from. I go into third and hes probably about a little tiny bit more than a car lengh behind. However, it was all over as soon as i shifted into 4th which I think it must've been around 95 MPH or so when he started to pull on me and then passed me in a moderately fast speed, at which point I almost missed my exit so that was it.

Later on at night coming home from DPA I notice this BMW following me, I think it was a 325 or 328 something. As Im merging on to the Service Road he quickly gets on the left lane to pass me. I let him get to my door but that was it, I was gone. I hit my brakes to slow down, now doing about 70MPH. hes now on my right. I was in 4th and didnt feel like shifting. so we go at it and hes pulling slightly on me until I hit 6K at which point I pulled away from him bad, about 3 or 4 cars. We come to the light and this has to be the funniest thing I heard tonight which made my night.

He goes: "sup? is that a 6 or 8? I chuckled a bit and I was like,
" ummmmmm, try a 4, so hes like" no way dude" so im like " I swear to God, its a 2.0 liter".
so this guy puts his head back onto the seat, closes his eyes and hes like " Ooooh shit", it was a sight to be seen. he was in disbelief and I guess in disappointment at the same time that he lost to a 4 banger. And his friend was laughing a bit about this whole thing. Oh well. He was a nice guy though, complimented me on the looks of the car.
thats it folks
