Boosted Prelude picks wrong Porsche to mess with

Several friend and i were headed back to Cleveland from Columbus Cars & Coffee. As we are cruising back, a Prelude blows by all of us. He slows down for us, then hits it again. We notice the front mounted intercooler and realize it is a boosted Prelude. When he hits it again, we realize it is a pretty fast car (relatively speaking of course). He urges us to run. He seemed extremely confident that he has beaten many turbo porsches in the past. Unfortunately, this time he picked the wrong Porsche to mess with. He slows down again and waits for us to pull up next to him. My friend in the passenger seat pulls out the phone camera

OH MY GOD... Granted, it's just a turbo prelude, but you walked it like it was standing still!

Did the guy in the Prelude hit the brakes instead of the go-pedal?

Either that, or he took it to his mechanic to see why the V-Tec wasn't kickin' in.

Haha, brilliant stuff. Amazing pull from the P-car there. Granted, the guy did give you guys a thumbs up. Could have been a lot worse - and a lot more humiliating for him
