Default Old Lady Buick vs. 1st gen Integra

I had this rental '02 Buick Century last week while my car was in the body shop. I was driving home late at night doing about 50mph when I see behind me, this lowered import bouncing down the road with more driving lights than a rally car. He was closing in really fast. I'm in the left lane, I see him change lanes to the right to pass me. I decided to see what this big 3.8 liter Buick with 200 miles on the clock could do.
Just as this car came along side me I quickly saw it was a 1st gen Integra with the full "Fast and the Furious" treatment. I nailed the throttle. The Integra's rear fender was at my front fender...The Buick down shiffted and took off. That 3.8 liter had some guts. I caught the Integra and then proceeded I pull on it, that Integra might as well have been parked. I looked down at the speedo and was doing 90 mph in no time. The Integra was several cars back trying to hang on.
I thought it was kind of funny. Later, I came to a stop and tried to do a burnout. No luck really, it has no power out of the hole, but at highway speeds its a contender. I won't be racing and Grandmas anytime soon.
