So I had a little fun while in Mexico last night with a brand new Maserati Ghibli (still wearing dealer tags). First let me say those things sound GLORIOUS; those Italians really know how to make a V6 sing. I didn't know anything about them until the skirmish was over, but after seeing the price and the HP output, I'm proud of my little GT.
I may have instigated the whole thing. He was one car ahead and we were both merging onto the highway; when he had an opening he punched it, and I did the same, but my punch was out of frustration, not trying to keep up with him. Once the Mexican highway cleared, no cars ahead, and we were side by side, I hear him downshift and let off. I thought, ok, let's do it. I downshift to 3rd and we're off; initially he pulled a bit but I reeled him in and after the upshift, I pulled away. All I could say was thank you Ark, thank you Injen, thank you JB4; couldn't have done it without you.
