I was on my way to a mustang meet today and was rather stoked. Had my car tuned, running well and it was looking pretty with the fresh wash and wax. As I merged on to the freeway, there is a convertible C6 Corvette and he accelerates as he sees me merging. I bite and pace him for a few seconds. Seeing as the freeway is rather clear, I tap the gas, trying to egg him into a race. He bites and shifts down, flooring it. I do the same by shifting to 3rd, immediately starting to pull on him. At around 120mph, we shut down with me ahead by about 2 cars. As we slow down to the speed limit, he comes up to me and gives me a nod. I have a smile from ear to ear full of adrenaline!

As luck would have it, 5 minutes down the freeway a brand new silver 360 Modena pulls up. He came up rather fast and braked hard as he slowed down after seeing me. Now Im really stoked. I have never gotten the chance to run a Ferrari before. We start at about a 60 roll and he hits it first. I punch it, starting from 3rd gear...and by the top of 4th I am 1 car ahead of this guy. Thinking I want to live to see another day, I shut her down as the Ferrari stays at that speed for a while, passing me up and doing a flyby.
