Not sure if it's a kill-but close enough
Had my first kill on Sunday. Coming back from the Minnesota GTG I found myself behind a 350Z. He slowed down in front of me and as I pulled out to pass on a long stretch of empty highway, what does he do but guns it as I get along side. Now I'm in the left lane, no oncoming so I put it down and shortly thereafter left him about 8-10 car lengths behind as we came up to a no pass zone. Pulled back in, kept it to about 80 close to the next town, passed a truck or two, so he got farther behind, where we got caught in traffic. At the next turn, I was second at the light to turn left, he came up along side to turn right, put the clutch in and gave me a burst as he slided by. I just laughed out loud. So a rolling 60 mph start might not classify as a kill, but in my NA it was close enough.
Oh, and BTW, running with 2 SRT's that day, I was amazed at how fast they accelerate. Good ones John and Dan!!! |

Sounds to me like he was being courteous and safe by letting you back in at the end of the passing zone...
