True story:
A friend and I were driving to a larger town a couple hours away from home in his Mustang GT....cruising along at 5 over, when this bright red porsche 911 turbo goes speeding by us in the lefthand lane. Ok cool, we just keep driving along as we had been, getting around traffic and all that, when who do we see slowing down to wait for us up ahead...the porsche.
So my friend, being the manly man he is, speeds up to pull even with the porsche...and as we do the other guy floors it (note I say to my friend right here he's just going to play with us) so my friend floors the GT to try and keep up. Traffic is fairly light so both cars start getting going fast...100+ mph pretty quickly when we come up to a small car (in left lane) and a semi (in right lane) blocking our race from continuing....or so we thought. The porsche driver (still going around 100mph) drives over onto the shoulder of the road and passes the semi from the right!
We chickened out and waited for the small car to pass the semi before passing ourselves and seeing the porsche waiting for us again. Traffic is really light now and we get up to 125+ mph, the whole time the porsche just plays with us...edging ahead and slowing down again Finally we got to town and figured going 125 in a 65 was prolly a bad idea....so we slowed down and let the porsche have his victory! bwaha!
This is funny. I have a similar story, without the racing, I guess. When I was much younger (and much less wise ), I was cruising along on I95 in the left lane at just under 90mph in my friend's Integra (he was the passenger). Out of nowhere, a red Porshche 911 comes up on us and starts tailgating us. This of course annoyed me (as I said, I was young and foolish) so I asked my friend if he minded if I gave the car a little more gas. He didn't object so I stepped on the gas and got the thing up to 105. The Porsche continued to tailgate us. Seeing this, I took the car up to 115. Upon looking in the rearview mirror, the Porsche was still there, tailgating. I started to step on the gas to take it up to 120, when I finally thought better of it and pulled into the next lane and let him pass. The Porsche driver pulled up even with us for a second, gave me a slight knowing smile, and proceeded to disappear down the road. He must have been doing 140-150 easy. That was the fastest I have ever gone in a car though, maybe 117-ish. Then again, I've never driven a Porsche...
