Shamed by a Ford Fiesta ST

I was on my way to play golf last week and was running late, so I was doing about 85 on the highway. I noticed a Ford Fiesta next to me tagging along. I had no intentions of giving him a race as I know my car is not fast (FRS cat back and intake). I decided to punch it on the highway when there was no traffic in front of me as to not put anyone in danger other that myself. I took it up to 108 mph when all of a sudden I see the Ford Fiesta ST going around me and proceeds to pull me hard. It is then I realized that indeed my car is slow. I proceeded to slow down and obey the speed limit. That is all.

Turbo said FR-S and proceed to outrun said Fiesta. Problem solved



*Only outrun Fiesta on closed course and when both cars are driven by professionals*

I'm not going to try and wag a finger at him. That's my normal cruising speed if traffic is very light.
