On my way home from Orland Park last night about midnight, I came upon a Mitsu GTZ at a red light. Once the light went green to my suprise he didn't bite when I had sped away. But shortly after I look in my side view and he is flying. So i think "game on", and I punch it. If you are unfamiliar with this area, there are a lot of high speed twisties and a lot of hills, precisely where our Contiques Strive. Little to his knowing I was able to not only catch up but fly right by him. Now at this time we were doing about 85-90 mph and we were approaching an underpass that lead to a bridge. So then I slowed and he followed suit, but not until he cut me off. This of course did not me me happy. I mean this was only friendly street racing. So I had to settle the score and fly past him and take the turn under the underpass at the same speed that I was going into it, 85-90. At this time I knew I had the edge going up the long bridge. So I proceeded with caution because this was a common speed trap(LaGrange/I-55 Intersection). sure enough there was a cop and we both stomped on our brakes. Luckily neither of us were stopped. We then proceed to enter I-55 north and the enterance ramp was one of those 35 mph ramps, but with him on my ass I let him know who was top dog here, so once again I went WOT and lost him. It was great tires were screatching and my ass end was kicking out a little. If you havent felt this sensation before you don't know what you are missing. Back to the story. So we are both on the highway and about 10 seconds after we enter I see his lights quickly approaching. See, I am crazy, but not that crazy to approach felony speeds. He evidently was and I let him fly by me at about 110 mph. Which is twice the legal speed limit. Once he saw that I was not game any more, he slowed down for me to catch up. But once I got within 2-3 car lengths of him, he would stomp it. At this time my exit was coming up so I did not realy want to continue, for I had my rush of the day. I gave him a friendly flash of the highs and went on my way.
