Encounter with an IS-300

I was on the interstate going home and I was beginning to merge and see a car coming up next to me on the left merging to and its an IS-300. So the car in front of me was pretty slow so after he/she merged I kicked 4th and booked down the merging lane and passed the car. The IS-300 pulled into the far left lane and I was in the far right. It started creeping on me, traffic was ahead so I slowed to around 80. The IS-300 pulled up next to me and took off, I think he was spraying cause I heard him hit it. So I got in the left lane and he took off again, I stayed on his/her pumper through 4th and in 5th the IS was about 1.5 car lengths ahead but pretty much stayed there. I looked down and speedo is sitting on 125. I pull in the middle lane and more traffic. IS-300 far left lane, and I was in middle. He had someone in front of him so I hit 4th a went around the right lane. He took off to and was about 3 car lengths back and could not catch me.....I don't know if he got scared and pulled off but I was booking it...

I beat an IS 300 too. It's really easy; just start going before the light turns green and cross your fingers. If you are drunk, then you go REALLY fast!!!!


Let's all try it!!!

maybe, the driver wasn't racing but playing around. alot of people do that you know, makes the drive much more enteresting.

ps. shame on you for doing it in traffic but i am a hypocrite.

Arith has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Exclamation

the is300 wasnt racing you, he probably was racing somebody else and you thought it was you.

i would like to call it... My friend drives his dad's IS300 and its stock. I have an AEM SRI and my muffler is unbolted. I nailed it without him knowing and he was about 3-5 car lengths behind me. And he caught up and passed me with no problem. Sorry but that is a no no

funny, 89-ish 5.0 mustangs have the same hp. why do people on here with 115 and 127 hp think they can beat something that may have over 100 hp on them?
