Was on the highway doing about 55. I get passed by a black blur. It slows down to about 65 a 1/4 mile ahead. I speed up and pull alongside... it is a black s2000. I stay at about 65 as my exit is coming up in a little over a mile. Then he bobs the front end on his car... then he gets on it. He pulls a fender on me, I punch it. He starts walking until the G downshifts and gets going. I have him by 90, and then as my monitor goes crazy telling me I am doing 100 I pull of at my exit.

He has an overspeed warning set on his DIC.

Can it be deactivated or adjusted?

Yes. He can set if for any speed he wants, or just turn it off (Factory setting is off, BTW).

Stock S2k's don't trap much more than 100mph so it's believable you would pull him. They are cute cars and I've driven a hand full of them but they need gears to really get them moving if running NA. Good run!

Good assumption but wrong. It was on this (http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?p=62556#post62556).

You made that race sound a lot closer than it should have been....I drive an '06 S2000 btw and I KNOW a G8 GT would pull away from it. Maybe the s2000 was modded? Next time follow him to some twisties :driving:
I wasnt planning on racing, my exit was coming up... I had it in auto nd was in sixth with a locked converter. By the time i reacted he was pulling... it took a while for the car to shift to third and then it just roped him in.
