raced a vw golf tdi(funny)

well i was coming home from the gf's and this golf rolls up next to me as we were doing about 120km/h (approx 75mph), then looks over at me and bobs the car a bit, so i figure why not, punch the gas in 5th( wasn't really bothering too much) he's pulling on me, at 140 i deciede to shut it down and he kept on going, right past a cop hiding hiding in the fog on the side of the highway.

moral is i might of gotten beat, but he got the ticket

Is this with a 2.8? You will not hit 140 with a 2.8. An LO3 can't even hit that.

140 km/h lol, i'd never do 140 mph, he was being a dick do i gave it some gas, i'd guess he was doing around 15 or 160 when i shut it down, so its still a pretty hefty ticket

With clowns like that you either race them and destroy them..or let them go... if you half-*** it and they hang with you or edge you out they think they actually have a chance against decent cars...which I guess in the end someone else will just slap the crap out of them later..no sense in wrecking in the fog anyway.
