FD vs. C5 Convertible

The other day I was driving on a touge style road heading to my cousins house to visit his supra and grab some soap to wash my car. A 2003-4 C5 Convertible Vette in red decides to fly by me and cut me off. I can tell hes the rich never earn anything myself type of guy with his friend thinking my car is a Japanese POS. Anyways how dare a domestic challenge the 7 on its home environment: twists and turns. As soon as I noticed he was WOT I dropped gears and caught up very quickly I found myself in the position of being able to overtake him inches behind his bumper. He was braking and struggling to take the turns however I was ready to take them faster. Finally we hit a straight where he began to floor his car I was in second around 5,500rpm. I started pulling pretty hard on his bumper. I switched in too third and had to let off alittle. As soon as the road broke into two lanes I get back on and pass him by about 2 cars and have to slow down. He turns on to the parkway I follow, he floors it out the jump. He gets about a 2 car head start from about 2nd to third im on his back bumper. I switch into third and pull about two and a half cars and shut down. He then follows me on to another tight road similar to the touge. He trys keeping up with me starting out right behind my bumper I start pulling away a car or two. As I focus on pulling threw the turns I noticed hes back about 2 turns and finally catches up. We get back on the parkway and we run again I pulled on him about 4-5 cars when I was at 150mph. I was switching crazy fast but still I was surprised he couldn’t stick next to me in high end. The funny thing was I noticed my sunroof was open and my windows too plus my music was on when I never ever race like that and I still beat him. If I only had this on video. I have always wanted to post a race like this since I am into Touge racing.. I must say I don’t recommend this type of driving for first time rx7 owners.
