nothing spectacular but just came back from my friends house and got 2 kills under my belt. 1st was a turboed civic.
It began when I first got onto the highway and saw a civic with an exhaust + silencer. I was riding his tail a bit and next thing i know, pieces of debris were being thrown out the window. So I sped up a bit and caught his draft. I guess they ran out of stuff or something but I kinda got pissed that they were throwing stuff so I ran next to him and that's when I heard his BOV as he rev'ed his engine. I thought that this might be an interesting racing depending on how much he was pushing so punched it a little and let him go first. Either the car wasn't pushing much boost or they were just blasting a pre-recorded sound clip of a BOV ... but needless to say, I flew by him as if he was standing still.
So then I continued on my merry way home and on the turnpike I had a 350z pull next to me. I've raced one before and so I wasn't too interested and didn't pay much attention. He sounded stock and I didn't see an aftermarket exhaust or anything. Then again, I wasn't paying much attention. But I guess this guy really wanted to race me so he decides to pulled a couple car length ahead of me and flashed his hazards. I'm thinking 'WTF, you're asking for a schooling!' So I pull next to him and downshifted to 3rd. We were around 50's and I started the race with my usual method of letting them have a little head start and then just kickin' their butts. Except for this guy, I extended the same courtesy he showed me. Aside from a nice whiff of my stinkin' rich exhaust, as soon as I passed him, I just left my hazards on all the way till I hit my exit. By that time, I had hit 120mph+ and he was just a speckle in my rear view mirror.
It was a relatively simple kill. Nonetheless, I haven't had this much fun since the beginning of winter.
