Driving home from work early last week, I was getting onto the off ramp from one highway to merge onto another on my way home. Driving right behind me, rather closely, I noticed a bright pair of headlights that looked like they belonged to some sports car, or sport coupe... I couldn't identify it right off the bat. At the end of the ramp, merging onto the highway, is the perfect stretch to downshift to second and take off as soon as the car in in front moves out of the way.
All the way around the off ramp, the S2k had been coming up close behind, then backing off, then coming up close again. As the car in front of me started to merge, I downshifted to second, hung onto the revs for a second as the S2k came up, then got into the throttle, with him staying on me, midway through third started to creep away, and then finally into fourth. I had about 2 and a half or so car lengths shifting into 5th where he shut down and we settled into traffic that was ahead. He made it up next to me in the middle lane, waved, and exited.
