<font color='#000000'>This happened about a year ago, but my buddy and I were side by side going down Col. Glenn Highway headed towards Ponderosa in Beavercreek, Ohio.
NEwayz, I get to the light and he revs his 1980's lincoln town car at me, and I rev back w/ all of my 103HP auto(non-cali versions have 2 extra HP! w00t! ). The light turns green and we're off! I take the lead rather quickly gaining about a car length on him off the line. Yay for me! That big heavy vehicle won't catch up to me... so I think.
But after about 35mph he starts to gain on me! noooooooooo.. damn those v-8's! By 45 mph he is beginning to pass me, so I shut it down. boooooo..
May I mention that I had three girls in my car though, two of them rather hefty (don't ask...) being above the 250lb+ range. Maybe without those girls I coulda kept him away till 50mph? hehehe...
I challenged him later to a race w/ my MKIV, but he didn't bite. No fair....
