This happened on the way home from work last night. I was running late for a movie so didn't need much encouragement
Pull up to the Traffic Light GP, R31 GTS skyline in the right lane me in the middle and Mr Across in the left.
Across with a rolling start leaves first and pulls a length or so on the two cars. Skyline gives it a bit but then veers off to the right.
I see the bike wants to play so nail the gas pedal. Turbos spool up and I wind Mr Across in and wave good bye. Hit about 120 and realize that my license is soon to be the looser of this confrontation so back off.
Next lights and he wants to play again... This time he doesn't have a rolling start.
Off the line I pull away from him. BiG chirp from the rear as the auto box moves into second. This time theres no contest at all and he quickly becomes a speck in the rear view mirror.
Both times when I backed off he went absolutely screaming past me (Screaming as in loud not necessarily fast). He was giving it everything it was worth and I've ridden one of these before and didn't think they were that bad at the time (nothing next to my CBR though)
I'd understand that he may not have know what my car was the first time, but why do you try a second time when u r obviously are out of your league. Wouldn't mind knowing what was going through his head....
