Caught and passed by S4
OK This Story is Long and hard to follow but hard to explain just read carefully. I guess?!?!?!
Ok so here is what happens, I'm at Princess and Pima and I see a silver S4 just cut the yellow arrow right before my light turns and he just takes off. About 7 seconds later my light turns green and I punch it. He gets to the light about .5 miles down the road. Bell and Pima and is stopped. I was doing about 75 and had to slow to about 20mph when the light hit green and I hit it. He hit it to but I was already moving at about 25mph when he started. So I'm pushing hard and as I'm getting on the on ramp to the 101 about .5 miles later I'm at 100 and he is about 2 car lenghts behind. So he has caught up already. Heading down the On ramp he branches to the middle lane I stay in the right. We get on the highway at 110 and he gets around and in front by 1.5 cars at 125. and then just keeps gaining a little ground. at 140 I catch back up to him and go by him and I keep going at about 145-148. Are the S4's goverened at 140mph?
So anyhow I was just shocked, well not shocked but thought it was so cool that this kid caught me from a stop when I was going 25 by him and then he passed me. Those are sweet cars.

i think that every one here who has followed your stories likes you. you seem like a nice kid. BUT, you are pushing the limits of your life expectancy at these speeds. you and your car are NOT"race ready" we do not want to read about you in a headline. if you must street or highway race, keep it to sane numbers.
maybe you need some counseling, i do not know, but you really must stop and think about what you are doing
i am saying this as a father of teenagers who loves kids. i think your family wants you to finish college, not ?????
go enroll in a race program and take it to the track after taking a pro course.
like i said, you are a nice kid, stay alive.
