Hi Everyone,
Last night I was driving home around 12:30am. I was at a light when out from a parking lot a Civil CX hatch back, you know the ones that have the rounded back end. He had some lights in his car and a DTM style muffer. He didn't have a resonator and it could be automatic. I wasn't giving him any attention, concerning racing. The light turns green and he rips up the road. I was like alright lets see what this guy can do. I pulling up to the light and I stopped quickly to let the guy know I mean to race. I edged up a little again to make my intentions clear. We take off. I get a good launch, red line it at 6800 RPM or what ever it is on an LS motor and I ram it into 2nd where I get a cool peel out. I haven't raced really with my new clutch yet and it was nice. So I hit 85 Km/h and I look behind me and this guy is back there a couple of car lengths. I slow down to 65 Km/h and stop racing. This guy in the CX won't pass me and pulls behind me because the road is going to change to 1 lane. Before that he passes me and continues to drive fast up the street. I just let him go and meet him at the next light where I have to turn to go home. He was acting cool and didn't look over. It was fun.
