| E36 M3 vs. Mitsubishi Evolution IX I was headed westbound on I-66 outside of the DC beltway today to get to Dulles. I was in the left-most lane of four. I passed, on my immediate right, an Evo IX; I was doing 70, he 65 in this 55 zone. He was stuck behind a volvo. I blipped it a couple times as I passed, and he got the message. Looked like a high school kid driving with a friend. He quickly got around the volvo and matched me at 70. A head bob later and we did a run. I shut it down at 120, when to my surprise I was two car lengths in front of the evo.
Can you say "turbo lag?" I fully expected to get creamed.
Then back eastbound later on I got to play with a yellow Ferrari :-) I think it was a 360.
