I probably should of told the whole story originally, well here it is:
I has entering I75 at 4:00am heading North from Square Lake road and going about 75-80mph when I see the corvette coming up behind me fast, probably about 110mph. I drop the car into fourth and get on it hard, I am not sure if he accelarated harder at the time but he never got by me. He did get next to me before my car started pulling on him, In about 1 min I couldn't see him behind me anymore. About another minute later I hit a cement strip on the expressway, which normally wouldn't be a big deal but I felt the suspension go up, but didn't feel it come down! I looked down and saw I was going a little above 180mph on the speedometer, I imediately let off the gas and slowed down to about 75mph and got over into the right lane. In about 30 seconds the corvette flys by me probably about 150mph. I am not even sure he saw me as he went by.
I fly planes quite a bit and the only way I can explain the feeling I felt was when you first start to rotate on take off you pull back on the yoke and the air under the wings takes the weight off of the suspension and then after gaining a few more knots you pull back a little more and takeoff. I feel pretty sure I was real close to taking off and since then I haven't been over 150mph in any of my cars.
