Coming home last night I was in the left lane of 3 lanes on the highway cruising at 75(ish)mph in a 70 mph limit. Noticed a CR-Z Honda 2 seater in the middle lane and about 10 cars ahead of him was a Honda Insight @year 2000. This is the first hybrid Honda with a 3 cyl. 1.0, 67 hp and weighs in at 1900 lbs. I had to look this up as I am not into hybrids.
Just as I reached the Honda Insight, it pulls into the left lane. I said "Dam, now I am stuck behind some dork that's going to block the left lane." But he was nice about it and pulled back into to the middle lane. in a few seconds. 10 seconds later he blows by me and takes off-still in the middle lane. I might(ha-ha) have been going 80 at that point and the little Honda disappears up the road 15+ car lengths!!
I said "Oh, this can't be" as it shouldn't be able to go that fast. I stomped on it and caught up with him as an Audi A7 cuts him off them moves over. Our exit is coming up in a 1/2 mile and he romps on it and disappears up the road again. I catch up to him again on a long sweeping exit and notice the tires on the front are bigger than the back and looks like slicks!! I figure he had a drag set-up as he didn't take the exit too fast. I noticed the back window had a number scrawled on it, but with all the Covid shots being given out, I thought it might have been that.
He nails it again once the car got straight and takes off. I came up on him as we approached a redlight, blew the horn and asked him "What the hell do you have in that thing?" He laughs, says "It's a V6!" He revs it, bounces it off the limiter and it begins to spit flames. He dumps the clutch and smokes the tires for about 20 feet while rolling at 35 mph!
I am guessing this is the car: =270 whp
The number in the back window? It said "10.73"
