Default FINALLY!! swapped dx coupe vs. s2k

after years of getting abused by s2ks while running my d-series, when i got my swap i thought i would get a little revenge. finally after almost a year and several aborted attempts, i get a few good clean runs in.

on the way to work, i turn on to a local track and hit a light. there is a car in front of me and when the light goes it takes off and gives me an opening to get around a dump truck. as i do, im shifting pretty lazy and by 30, im already in 3rd. i look up to check my mirrors and see a silver s2k coming around the dump truck and landing right behind my rear bumper. i floor it and proceed to go no where? crap, im in third at 45mph... lol. so after what seems like forever with the s2k on my bumper, i start to pull, but my then we are at 80mph and we start slowing down.
after cruising for a bit, we finally catch a light. im behind him and there is a car next to us. when the light goes green, he floors it and spins for a second, so i had to let off a little. he gets traction and goes with me right on his bumper. about mid way thru second, i get over next to him and by 70 in 3rd, i have him by about a fender and we both let off.
a few more miles down the road, traffic clears and we go from a 40mph roll. it was a repeat of the light where by 70, i have him by a fender.

now before anyone goes calling b.s. this was a stock s2k and the guy driving it looked to be a good 240(he had a big belly from what i could see... lol) and we did not get above 80mph on any of the runs due to common sense. im thinking that between 80 and 100 he would have started pulling me a bit, but as i have yet to race one to 100, i cant say for sure.
