Finally got one ...
Had a really long and ****ty workday today, so I was looking to releave some tension in the car. I'm cruising home on California at a leisurely 30-35mph when I hear a blowoff valve go off to my right. The guy stays behind me for a while in my blindspot. We approach a stoplight so he decides to punch it, cut into my lane, and make a left turn onto Lake... red EvoVIII ... It's ON :D. I punch it, he gets to the stop light and pulls a pretty tight left turn. I get there and have to brake because there was oncoming traffic. I wait till it clears then make my turn giving it a bit too much throttle. The rear end breaks loose so I get sideways for a bit. I recover and see he is stuck at the next light in front of Border's books. I slow as I get near to a 10mph roll. The light turn green right as I catch up to him. We both proceed to roll at about 10-15, I'm about a foot in front as I rolled through the light. We make it thru the intersection then both punch it. My tires let out a short YELP instantly allowing him to pull a fender on me. The tires finally grab and we stay that way for half of my 1st gear. I start inching him at the higher RPMs. Top of first he's at my window. Second kicks in and we hold steady for a bit. Midway thru 2nd gear he starts to fade quickly, he enters my blindspot. We run for ~2 blocks, I get to the top of second (~85mph) and I pull maybe a 1/4-1/2 car on him. I slam on the brakes and he switches lanes and turns right on Del Mar.
I'm quite pleased with my car, I thought for sure that EVO would eat me in the eight.:D
