So I was going to see this girl last night, and I took the outer lane of the ramp from Interstate X to Highway Z like I always do, and probably held it at like 65MPH, nothing big, passed this BMW along the way, didn’t think anything of it. A minute later, I see him come flying by, happen to notice the M badge on the back, then he slows up and starts pacing me and downshifts.

We slow up to 30, I put 3 fingers out the window, he nods, I beep. My trans downshifts to first :bloated: and he jumps out about a quarter to a half car when I end up out of my powerband until the second shift. As soon as I hit second I get it back and pull about ¼ to ½ a car in second.

When I hit 3rd he gets the LS1’s top end wrath, I pull a car to a car and a half, and shut down at 1xx MPH.

He stays back and gets off at the next exit, and here I might have even let him show me up in the curves.
