This was on the Sawgrass an eight lane extention of I 75.

As I was passing him he looked over at me as if to say you can't pass me. I continued at the same speed and this young kid decided he was going to keep up with me and then pass me. There were a couple of cars in front of him so he couldn't pass me. I stayed in the right lane and I think he thought that he was going to show the older guy, me, that he had a fast car. Other then a larger exhaust I had no idea what kind of mods he had on the car.

As he was coming up on me I increased my speed slightly and he moved to the center lane and floored his little s2000. I let him get even with me and the kid in me just couldn't resist and I floored the SRT. I would have liked to have seen his mouth drop as I just opened up the distance between us. I took the car up to 135-140 then slowed back down to 85/90 and cruising speed. Low and behold there he was again. Dejavu. This time I only went up to 125 just to prove a point to him that he did not have enough car to keep up or stay with the SRT at that speed. I love that warp speed button under the pedal. Slight perma-grin

Can't wait till the 181 pulley parts get here. I sure am glad I have a clean driving record, cause the first time I get a speeding ticket, it is going to be ugly. Oh, by the way I did use my blinkers whenever I changed lanes, which wasn't very often at 120 plus. I am not sure I could have heard the radar detector at 140 in the roadster with the top up. Not that it would have helped.

The XF runs so smooooooth at high speeds.
Yup Randy,
These cars can get you in a lot of Trouble! My first Speeding ticket in over thirty years & my First Accident, since my Ducati vs Truck in 1963!
(Both in the last two months )
