Never mess with the protector of Humanity

Ok so I'm on my way to work today, cruising (if you can call it that) in rush hour traffic doing about 50 or so, and I look to my right and see this black car with a huge wing on the back. I start laughing to myself thinking this has to be some kind of joke, but as soon as it got equally beside me and then a little ahead I realized I had made a fatal mistake. It looked like a WRX, but with a bigger wing. It creeped a little more in front of me and I saw the WRX badge at the bottom, but instead of it saying Suburu across the back, it said Vishnu.

I had never heard of something like this and thought maybe it was just someone re-badging their car to act tough or something. Anyways this guy suddenly flies in front of me, into a space big enough for a car and a couple feet and just sits there for a bit, I'm guessing he saw me looking over and just wanted to give me an *** shot of the car. He hung there for a little less than 30 seconds, then flew back into his lane and took off, like we were doing about 55 to 60 now, and he disappeared like we were at a dead stop.

I did some searching and found out that Vishnu is a hindu god, and is the protector of humanity, and also found out Vishnu was a tuning company. There wasn't really a race here, more like me driving in awe, and the blow-off valve I heard was pretty nice. If I had a turbo I might've tried to at least keep up with him, but with just a I/E setup, I didn't want to embarass myself

Basically I was wondering if anyone's ever encountered, let alone tried to race something like this? From what I've found searching Vishnu only seems to deal with WRX's and Evo's.

yea vishnu is pretty big in the subby comminuty as they produce some very quick cars. Would be a humbling encounter, but nothing like my run in with a RUF Turbo... now THAT was a beast.
