Run-in with Jaguar Convertible

I'm not sure if it was a Xk8, sc-Xk8 or a silverstone Xk8. It was behind me as i was crawling behind a tractor trailor. All three of us turned into the exit to get the tollbooth. The tractor trailor was in front, then me and then the jag. I was following the trailor for about 3 miles and was dying because it was going SO slow. I noticed that a guy in a convertible jag was behind me. When I got the chance to pass it I gunned it and went right by it. He must have taken it as either a challenge or just wanted to see what the CLS could do so he followed behind me. Got onto the on ramp so i could get 476N. There were two cars in front of me and the Jag was still behind me. So i drop down from 4 to 2. Left lane is open so i pound on it and take off and the Jag wants to play so he follows. I go through the gears and am in 4 at like 110mph. I shift at like 6k. He is still RIGHT with me and then took it up to 120 and he was a few car lenghts behind. He followed me for a while. I had some a-holes in the left lane that wouldn't let me pass so i had to slow down. I'm not sure which model Jag it was. I know it was the newer ones. I think we could hang with the Xk8. Only because it weighs alot more than our cars. We'd get smoked by the other two. I wouldn't call it a race or anything but it was interesting.

Doubt it was a silverstone since that is a very limted production model. The 20 inch rims would also stand out Man those cars are so nice.

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.
