Unsure of what the Evo had... I believe I saw exhaust but who knows...looked all over online to see if I could find the guy but no luck.. anyone know a good Evo forum??

I was on my way to Iowa City on I-80 when I came up on a blue Evo rolling along. I passed him up and saw him shoot into the lane right behind me. Game Time.
He is sitting behind me and it clears in front of us... I throw down to 3rd gear and start to slowly push the go pedal, he takes the bait and jumps over to the other lane closing in on me. I went WOT just after and it seems for a moment like he is just going to pass me with little difficulty, then he falls back slowly as I reach triples and finally gets out of it after I put some distance on him. He rolls up on me again and I give him a thumbs up...
We cruised along for a while and got even again...we were rolling and had no cars in front when I did the 3 honk start from 70mph, I pull right away (bad spot for an evo? not sure) and he falls back to my bumper but holds there for a moment (in the vid you can see his front end sitting briefly at my bumper). I shift into 4th and start to walk pretty good, he lifts. Appeared to be about a length back and falling when he let off around 115mph. I slowed up and when he rolled up we exchanged thumbs ups. He took an exit near Hoover HWY and I continued on.
I know from a dig I would have been SOL by how well he held on...but lucky for me you can't just stop in the middle of the interstate.

Sorry for the vid, It was the persons first time operating the camera while being thrown around in the seat. I will get better vids in the future.

Nice kill though.
