Mitsus must really blow, kill story Options

[FallenHero]

Ok, I'm riding home from school tonight when this guy in a new Mitsubishi Eclipse pulls up beside me and just parallels me... THEN, I hear his engine begin to roar and he starts to take off. SO, I drop the hammer. I expect to be destroyed, but I started catching him, (I could hear his engine, he was running the hell out of that car) and I SO OWNED him. How is that possible? I thought even the crap Eclipses were faster than our cars. Keep in mind I ran him from about 70 to 110ish and then had to slow for traffic. Are they just that slow at speed or something?
