well, you have take it for what it is...like the mustang guy w/ his kids in the car...I would have backed off, not worth hurting innocents...now he thinks he made a kill....the only way to know is to outright race...I do mine on the track...or with some buddies at an old airport...if it is on the street, it is just for a few seconds, 0-60 stuff...no more...but usually that is enough for them to get the picture...this little roadster has a rep around here already, so I don't get challenged much, then again, it could be that they know who I am...but once in awhile...you just can't resist a little punch at the light...
