95' Subaru Impreza 5-Speed w/ Cat-back and muffler(fart can)
I followed him for about 2 miles trying to get him to realize that i'm behind him on a 2 lane road. As i'm almost going to give up on him he jumps into the on-coming lane and trys to take off i drop to second(from third), spool up and get up to his back bumper until we come up on other traffic. We come to a red light where he has his right signal on, so on goes my right signal(finally the moment i've been waiting for). He pauses, then jumps from a stop and takes the right lane, i take off into the left and proceed to even the race at the end of 2nd. Once i reached full boost(5.5) in third i pulled on him a few car lengths and he squatted. Kill complete. I let him catch back up and watched as he pulled into a goodyear auto center lot, i pull up next to his window and down goes my passenger window. I talk to him about cars for a second and local meets, then tell him i'll see him around since he was with his girlfriend i presume.

2004-ish Audi TT Convertible Top
During the same trip as above, i followed the subaru on a few roads i was unfamiliar with so i worked my way back to the highway and as i nearing the on ramp i see a tiny silver convertible get on as he was traveling in the opposite direction, i speed up to detect it as a Audi TT Convertible with TTROUBL as his license plate. At the top of the on ramp he guns it, and damn do those light little car take off. I did my best to keep it close until we hit some other motorists, and then i thought "at least now we can start from an even roll". As the road opened up we took our lanes and went for it, he was a guy in about his late 30's or so with a backwards baseball cap. He never really looked over but we flew from 60 to 100 with me ever so barely edging him, after 100 i didnt really feel comfortable on a stock suspension that has 100k on it. I had the motor and gearing to fly to 125 im sure, but i let off at 110. It was fun, we pulled from 60 or so back up to about 100+ once more with me again barely edging him out by less than a full length. My exit was here and i got off with a small confidence boost. I cant wait to play with my car more now. I know that this 7M is a good starting point...
