Me vs. N/A supra

Yesterday on my way to work on I-81 (4 lanes) right around harrisburg, pa. I was cruising at about 70 mph and noticed the last generation supra (not sure what year) cruising at about the same speed (cars holding us up here and there). The car looked stock, I didnt see exhaust, it wasnt turbo, and he had two people with him. So I thought this would be a good race- lets try it. I roll up beside the kid and look over at him and throw a nod. Pretty much as soon as I did that the kid shoots right around the car in front of him and I jump on it and go left we both take off. We were about equal until about 110 then I let off an he kept weaving through a few cars. I catch back up then get beside him. I drop my car down into D3 going about 70-75mph. Now we have a decent little stretch with no cars in each of our lanes. We look at each other again, the kid honks 3 times and on the 3rd honk we go. Right off the bat I started pulling on him a little bit- by about 120 I had about a car lenth or so on him. I let off at that point as we were coming up on more traffic and he kept going and barely weaved his way through again. Overall it was a fun race, Im just happy I can beat a non- turbo supra with 3 people in it

Supra N/A 220HP and 225ft/lbs torque. N/A Supras also have the Automatic Turbo Differentials. My Supra Turbo weighs ~3800 with just me in it. So I'm guessing his car had ~4000lbs... which is about as much as VR4
