I was in New Haven,CT sunday night for a field trip to Moroso on monday. Me and 2 fellow stangers in my car, North on 95, center lane coming up on exit 51, very light traffic. We're cruising around 65mph when I see this import of some nature busting *** up the right lane. I crash 3rd to 85 and then 4th to 110 and give him the slide. I settle back to 90 in 5th gear and he's just resting about 5-6 car lengths back. Now I'm paying more attention out front, but I can still see him hanging back there. All of a sudden he just takes off like he fired up a rocket or something. He was along side before I could even downshift and then he had me be by 4-5. I stayed in it and pulled back along side and then proceded to pass him. I had to hit the left lane and he got off at 51, so I didn't get a chance to chat. Now I don't have any personal experience with the juice, so here's my question:

Is this normal performance for a VW Jetta??

Any of you locals up there know this car? It was probably black or dark blue. Possibly a dark green
