Cliff notes: Saturn sees Maserati in the rearview mirror. After taunting the Maserati and finally pacing him at 70, the Maserati owner laughs at the fact a Saturn wants to race. A little brake boosting and some more taunting gets the guy to run. The Maserati jumps on it and gets a 1/2 lead due to the delayed reaction of the Saturn. The Saturn's turbo spools and makes enough boost to match the Maserati's speed. 18psi causes some crazy torque steer and by the end of 3rd (~90) the Maserati is 2 or 3 cars back. By 120 the Maserati is a few more cars back. They slow down and the guy in the Maserati won't look over, let alone try again.

Good kill Sam.
