I was at the Illegals watching the races,I noticed this old Beat up Saab coming down the strip me and my friends were laughing at it.
It was a 9000 turbo saab with a blow off valve but The $hit sounded tired. Anyway he did a impressive burn out and then he parked it. We stayed and watched some more races then the cops came Everybody jump into there cars and headed to 150th street. This is around 11:30 pm traffic is light on the conduit. I am doing around 110mph I look back in my rear view I see headlights behind me about 8 or 9 cars back so I slowed up looking for a challenge its the turbo saab. I slowed down to around 75 or 80 waiting for him to get closer (how stupid of me) He coming maybe at 100 plus mph I stomped it (doh) He just cruise right by me. I felt like $hit he had 2 other passenger with him too. What A Disgrace a old 80s saab beat me.
Would you call this a RoadKill? I know he will He probably going to tell all his friends he a maxima!!!!

That is not a race

He beat by momentum,that is not a roadkill just think what if you did not slow down he probably never would have cought you.

not really a kill, you just shouldn't have slowed down and waited.
when they coming at you at 100mph, and you are at 80mph, it takes a WHILE for a max to go from 80-100, so he will just blow by you, it's the momentum.
happens to everyone, when someone flys by me and i floor my gs4, it still takes a while to catch up.

already have intake, ecu upgrade, hid, exhaust and racing padel sets are arriving this friday.
not gonna lower it, maybe thicker sawy bars, and a dinan stb(not that i believe it helps the handling but it reduces the rattles supposely in a long run).
thta's about all i wanna do with the car.
