Well, to expand on the story, we weren't street racing. It was approaching a green light at maybe five over the speed limit followed by a left onto an access road and then an on ramp, so he just beat me to seventy (which was the speed limit on the highway on to which we were entering). I left it in third for the corner (due to the aforementioned smoothie) which gave him just enough time to make the pass once we came onto the straight since I was out of the power band.
More low-end torque would have helped, but it's not the car's fault I had it in the wrong gear.
