Default How does this happen?

I was on the highway, bobbing and weaving through traffic and a @02-03 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS comes outta nowhere and starts shadowing me...game of cat and mouse is on. After a while traffic got too thick so I calmed down and he kept going. I caught up to him again and lined up next to him, we took off from a 60 roll and I smoked him! By the time we hit @110 I had him by 3-4 car lengths. I saw his entire car in my rearview mirror. I got off the highway at my exit and gracefully honked my horn---Did I mention my car is Auto & his was Manual.(The GTS is a V6 with-I think- 210HP)....................WTF?

Maybe he was just playing. I've raced two 350z both times I wont barley....Both times was 50-115mph. I really doubt they were trying in both cases...but whats the point of messing with someone and letting them when while hitting speeds of well over 100mph in a 45zone...

Some people just don't know how to drive their cars, while other people buy cars that are way to much for them.

It's possible that are cars actually faster. The eclipse 0-60 is anywhere from 6.1-8. Couldnt find the exact model and everything but yeah it maybe possible
