Rep Power: 376 ran an STi, and scared away an SRT4
I was driving on a two lane road on the edge of town the other day, and had a blue STi behind me as we moved through traffic. I sped up a bit to give him a chance to get next to me. Eventually catching a light, we were lined up, but I heard no rev so I did not plan to launch. I tried to look over, but dark tinted windows prevented me from seeing into the car.
The light turned, and we both just kinda did a rolling start. Punching the gas, the STi started pulling on me slightly. Into 2nd gear, and I stopped his pull. He was maybe 3 feet ahead of me. Into 3rd, and I started to pull. By the end of 3rd I was ahead, and we were close to hitting traffic so he hit the brakes. I slowed down, and he had rolled down the window. Him and his passenger gave me a big thumbs up, and I smiled and waved.
Then, the next day, I had an SRT4 that had pulled ahead of me on a main stretch of road leaving town. It was still two lanes at this point, and I stepped up a bit to catch up to him. He got stopped at a light, so I sped up a bit more to try and line up with him.
Just as I got to the light, it turned green, and he launched and took off. I was still rolling about 5mph and just went, starting slightly behind him. I pulled on him quickly and he shut down at about 50mph, even though clear roads were ahead of us. He lingered behind for a bit, and never got up next to me after that. Eventually another light came up and turned red just as we were approaching. I started to slow down, and he downshifted and went through the light, even though he was behind me and had plenty of time to stop. lol. I guess maybe I scared him off after the first encounter?

Rep Power: 376 it was definitely SRT4. hood scoop, annoying raspy crappy sounding dual exhaust, etc. and a regular neon would not have been anywhere near as close as this guy was on that first little jaunt.

the gears allow the S2000 to hit about 13.3. educate yourself before speaking.
