Sad, sad day. I was on the 134 East (this is in LA), cruising at 80mph by myself, all of a sudden a red S2000 pulls up behind me fast and tails me, he pulls into the next lane and downshifts (I know he's gonna go), so I downshift too and take off. Between 80 and 120mph, he slowly gains 2 car lengths on me, and after 120, he takes off. I lift my foot off when I hit 140mph, but by then he was 8 car lengths ahead of me. I was like no f***ing way, there were 2 people in the S2000!

Is the VTEC at high revs adding that much more power?
