I had my a** handed to me like that just once... was driving my 400hp 300ZXTT down the interstate.. pulled up next to some guy in a beat up, rusty old camaro. I didn't even know we were racing until it was too late - he took off like I was standing still.
These days I get more of a chuckle pacing the rice boys through traffic and then killing them at the lights in my Durango. LOL. Turns out they were right - there really is no replacement for displacement.
