Default s197 kill...

I was cruising up I-35 to San Marcos from San Antonio tonight and i came upon a very nice color red s197 GT. it was an older man driving with his wife i think but i passed him and then i let him get next to me. i kinda nudged the gas a little and i could see him getting faster. i down shift to 3rd as does he and he gets about a 1/4 car head start. at the beginning of 5th i had about 3/4 car on him and thats where it ended. we gave each other a thumbs up and went our seperate ways. it was nice to get in a little race. i have not had a good race in a while.
