Default Modded Cooper S Down

I was cruising home and passed a modded Cooper S. I thought to myself "Hey thats a pretty nice S that guys got." and thought nothing more.

Well the street turns into a bridge and I hit the gas to change lanes as soon as I can to get out of the way of idiot drivers and scoot over the long bridge like I always do. I looked into the mirror to find the Mini tailing me. So I was like 'Oh no he di-int!" I was already doing 70 and dropped to 3rd and stomped the gas. I gotta say, once that 18g turbo kicks in to 15 pounds (in this case pretty much immediatly) the car went violent and screamed with me doing a neck snap and the car trying to dance all over the road.

Doing that sucked every single drop of respect out of me and funneled it into the car. Ive never done it before and to be frank, I found it sightly terrifying. Needless to say that little guy was still behind me but slowly falling back. With a smile on my face I exited early to avoid dealing with him potentially racing around me trying to go again.

I was shaking for the next 15 minutes. The adrenaline coursing through my body was causing my foot to uncontrolably shake when I applied the gas pedal.

Man, its nice to know that I was out running a modded Cooper S.

On a parting note, I know he would whoop my ass off the line because of a RWD and instant tourque of a SC so I dont want to hear it. Bottom line, I bagged it.

I gotta say guys, this Cooper was pretty quick. If you can keep up with me you got a pretty fast car.
