This morning on the way to work coming out of the tolls on the highway I saw this somewhat riced out Celica GTS tailgating and trying to cut around me before the lane merge. As I was accelerating fairly hard at the time he wasn't able to do it. There was a opening in the traffic to my right in the center lane, and I heard him nail it (definitely had intake work done). So I figure what the hell, lets have some fun and I downshifted to 2nd and gunned it. Shifted at redline at both the top of 2nd and 3rd. His car was definitely faster, but not by a whole lot. He was walking away from me, not running. Turns out he was chasing a Porsche Boxter and trying to prove his car worthy. :rolleyes: The Porsche got caught behind slower moving traffic and the Celica thought it was smart to tailgate him about an inch off his bumper doing about 95MPH  :rolleyes: I was right behind the Celica, but not tailgating like he was. I think he was surprised to see a black Ford sedan in his rearview that he couldn't shake  Anyway, these two clowns proceeded to weave in and out of very heavy rush hour traffic at 90+, which I found to be extremely foolish so I backed off. People forget that life isn't a video game. I would have loved to have been in my Z06 on an open road with these two.
