well, I know I'm going to get flamed for this BUT just could not resist. Conditions were great (clear and 60 degrees), late at night, no cars, straight road.. V1 on checking around 
cruising at 70 (speed liimit) i pass a ramp entrance Iand I see some bluesh lights merging..did not pay much attention and all of the sudden comes flying next to me and stops paralle next to me.. 
so i decrease the speed and he decreases..i increase a bit and he increases..so I said what the hell V1 on and noone on the the straight road for miles (I75)..so i hitted and he hits it..he got a jump on my car as it seems he hit it first or had the gear ready as I was on driving on D.. so we went and I sat 1 car behind the whole way until his limiter hit and I passed him.. after that we exit a few miles later and he stayed in my rear until he turned..very surprised my car help its own against a bigger motor and torque (not counting 83k which is M5 territory). 
i guess the roles could have been reverse if I jumped on him..
