Default S2k Vs E430

2AM, on 680 south going towards San Jose. A black '02?? MBZ E430 Sport pulls up next to me on my left. I was going about 75 in 6th and he look over and pace me for about 5 miles. By now, i was like WTF??? So i look ahead and it was empty and straight. So i drop to 5th instead of 4th going about 90. From 90 to 110 half car lead , from 110 to 130 still had half car lead. At 130 he was slowly creeping next to me. At 135, i shut it down!!

Yeah, you should have dropped to 4th, oh well at least you know you would have smoked him.

At that speed, I would have hit 3rd, but nice run.
