'88 RX vs. '06 MX-5

About 2 weeks ago on my way up to atlanta, I saw a brand new MX-5... I ran next to it at about 70 and held next to him for about a mile or so and decided that he didnt want to play so I went on... after about 30 seconds he flew past me at about 90 and he slowed down to 75 and kept with me for a ways and i flashed my brights, he did the same and we took off. I was supprised at how well it could keep up but i was pulling. We got to about 115 and held it there for a ways... At the end I was about 3/4 leingth in front of him... It was fun ... That was my first race too...

i heard the new mx5's put down decent numbers, but i did see car and driver couldnt get a auto mx5 past 120mph and i know fc's can go faster than that but wow i figured youd get pulled on great job.

That MX-5 must have been an automatic...your vert weighs about 500lbs more and has 20 less hp...he should have smoked you.
