raced newer model stratus

well the race came outta nowhere...but i responded accordingly. i'm comin home from work and this stratus is flyin up on me. there were two lanes so he coulda passed me right up. but he decides to tail me. i change lanes to let him pass, but he keeps on me and changes lanes with me. so now i'm like . so i turn on a major street (high street) and i take off screeching my tires around the turn and quickly slow down to a red light. he comes flyin up in the lane next to me and slaaaammed on his brakes to a screeching halt. uuh wtf...how much do you love your tires? so light turns green and we take off. every gear, he pulled on me slightly the lower RPM's, but after 4K, i'd start pulling on him to even out and maybe more but we never got a stretch long enough for me to keep increasing speed and pass him due to traffic lights. we hit a series of 3 red lights after that. everytime same thing happening. we were pretty even for the most part. by the 5th time i was like ok ok, enough wasting gas. plus we're both dead even, no point reaffirming the fact. so i took off real slow so he knew i wasn't racing. he launched and kept goin then put his hazards on. he got in the left turn lane, and i believe as he was trying to turn off his hazards, he didn;t see the light turn red, and he slammed on his brakes and skidded halfway into the intersection. he had to put it in reverse and back up.
so i slooowly pulled up to the red light next to him and laughed at him. funny guy.

so i looked up some info about stratus'...i have no idea what model he had...so lets just say he had base model... 2.4L sohc 142 HP. (vs. my 1.7L sohc 117HP)...i'm glad civics are so light.

Good story. I'm sure that car is very heavy if you kept up with him. And what a weirdo that guy was.
