At some point he moved to the right lane to let me pass, then he followed me.
We were in the left lane, just clearing a pack of cars as a looong straight section of open freeway appeared, no cars in sight ahead for miles.
From my mirror I could tell he also saw the wide open freeway approaching, as he closed up the gap on my rear bumper. As we cleared the last car in the pack we were going thru, he moved to the right lane, I was still leading, I dropped a couple gears and nailed it.
He nailed it as well.
He did not catch me, but I did not increase the distance between us.
Acceleration wise, the cars were very close.
(His car sounded WICKED!!!)

What a great little story, and love the ending - thanks mate! |
I do sometimes wonder what he was thinking though…
"How cute, the old man in the M3 thinks he has a cool car…I'm gonna blast by him and give him a real thrill….oh dear lord the old guy is dropping gears, you have got to be kidding me…fine, I'll put him out of his misery….WTF!!!? Why-am-I-not-catching-a-fucking-M3?"
