Pull along side a VT SS... Lowered, some nice chromes, I was pretty sure it wasn't a cop. I get a look inside, definately not a cop, some clown with a pretty cute girlfriend...

We ended up at a set of lights with a clear 800m of straight road ahead, he starts revving his engine, creeping forward...

1st gear once it grips gives me half a car, by the end of 2nd it's about 3 cars, into 3rd and run it to about 130 by now probably have 10 cars on him and he backs off, so I give it a little more and slow down to the speed limit.

Get around 5 km down the road and he screams past me from behind, yelling abuse...

I don't know what to laugh at more

The fact he spent 3 times more money to buy his car than I did...

Or that it took him 5 km to catch me!

hehehe, I find it even funnier doing that to people and then explaining that my car's N/A when they say "gee that's pretty quick for just a 2L turbo!"
(not that it hammers em in a straight line, but a few corners usually leaves them out of sight behind :))
