Wasn't really a race, but as I was heading up a fairly steep hill I passed a new silver Volkswagen GTI who was just merging into the lane to my left. I noticed in my rear view that the cute little thing was flooring it to pass me so I slowed down a little to have some fun. As it got within about 4 car lengths I floored it too. The GTI pretty well stayed about 2 cars behind me until I had to slow down for the aproaching intersection. It's a fairly fast little car but I think the driver was surprised that it couldn't catch me. Well, that was my fun for the day!

Was it the VR6 or a 1.8t one. The VR6 should be fairly quick stock and a chipped 1.8 should be faster.

Talking about GTI, The S4 are nice to play with too, except that they take the league on free way. But hey, Maxima still follows it.

Sorry, I didn't really take note. I just remember seeing the red GTI on the rear as I passed it.
