Me vs. Turbo'd Neon

Ok, so I'm coming home last night from work. I have a 1/2 hr commute each way so I usually travel around 75mph (all highway commute). I come up behind a neon, not a SRT4, just a plain neon, but add an aluminum wing and coffee can exhaust. I pull up beside him and I can see him A pillar is full of guages.
He steps on it and I hear the Wooossssh of a blow off valve. I drop to forth and then slam it into 5th I'm about 1.5 car lengths behind him. He slowly pulls on me over 100mph then I blow by him at 120 while he slows down. We went for maybe 2 miles, then he turned off.
No, my car is nothing major. I just thought it was funny that the guy thought he was such a bad ***. All I was doing was driving home from work and I felt like having some fun.
