OK, today on the way home from the gym who else would pull up next to me but a shiny black MR2 w/ new wheels. I had seen him in traffic but never got by him till this light, and obviously when I looked over and saw a mid 20's guy driving I knew it was on. I watched the yellow light turn red for the other direct, counted 1...2 and we were off. Right off I pulled ahead, and by 75 I was leading by 1-2 car lengths. At 80ish I let off b/c I thought we were done, apparently not, he comes full force, and got almost even with me by the time I was acceling again. I pulled slightly ahead again, till about 100 - 105 and then there was traffic, so it was over. We did a little weaving through traffic and then I saw his turn signal go on in my rear view. We came to another redlight (behind a bunch of cars) and I looked back and he nodded at me - so I did the same..

It was a manual, you could tell by the 1-2 shift jerk, and it sounded supercharged when we were at the light, but that could have been intake too, so I don't know. Wasn't turboed I know for a fact or he would have burned me (they do 6.2).
