On the way home

I had a couple of kills on the way home. I was bored and it was pretty much open road with no cops out tonight on HF and I-4 .

Escort vs. brand new Corolla "S" . The guy and his girl have a brand new Corolla, temp tag still in the window. He tries to do a ricer flyby and I just downshift and pace him. He then dropped down speed again and we go at about a 55-60mph roll. I gave him the holeshot since there was a car coming in front of me up ahead. I rolled over behind him and paced him slowly climbing up to about 100. We pass the one car in the way and I pull into the right lane and drop it back down into fourth proceeding to pull on him like he was sitting still. Do they have a speed limiter at like 105 or so? I think that's all the faster he could go . Anyways he tried to do some weaving in and out of traffic and what not so I backed off, Im not about getting into accidents.

Focus ZX3 vs. the Escort. This puerto rican lookin fella is pacing me on I-4 with his silver ZX3. I see him back off a bunch and accelerate then goes by me at about maybe 90mph. One quick downshift shift and I'm pacing with him. He does that a couple more times, like he's winding up or something? . Just before my exit he rolls up next to me cruising at about 65-70. I hear his car rev hard and try to accelerate so I follow suit with him about a length ahead. I drop it into third up to about 85 then hit fourth up to about 105 or so, and shift 5th to about 115. I look to see where he's at and he's about 6 lengths back He tries me again from a dig at a stoplight after we get off the highway. I pull on him to about 80 and dropped off in fear of extremely high tickets. He was an easy 7-8 lengths or so behind me.

Pretty much stock Escort - 2

Focus with a fart can -0

stock Corolla "S" -0
