Default "look at me" Civic vs s2000

I was on my way to the airport to pick up my wife last night when a stickered up civic pulls up next to me at a stoplight. Funny thing is he only pulled up far enough for his front bumper to reach my rear wheels. He had neon going on and stickers on his windshield (nuespeed). I kept looking back to see if he wanted to go but he just kept staring straight ahead. The light goes yellow for the intersecting road and he starts to rev. We go green and I drop at 6k, we stay even just before 1st gear redline, I hit second and start to pull by the middle of third he is 8 lengths back. I slow down to allow him to catch up and he blows by. We catch another light and I pull up to him and look over but again he is staring straight ahead. He had dual tips and a nice tone to his motor, he looked like he had done this before but he would not acknowledge my prescence. Go figure. He revs again on yellow and off we go. Same results. This time when I slow down he comes up and paces me around 40mph. I dropped to second and absolutely destroy him. We catch yet another light and the same thing happens again, this guy would not look my way. I at least wanted to find out what he had done to his car. Oh well, fear is a powerful thing I guess. It was kind of sad actually, all of that work to make his car look fast and make a statement to the world "look at me" and he would not reciprocate. By the way I chose the wrong vehicle to pick up the wife, her suitcase wouldn't fit in the trunk.

That means he wanted to race from a roll but didn't seemed like you did.
