Almost got to run a Ferrari

On my way back from the store I'm sitting at a light and a guy pulls up next to me in a brand new Ferrari Modena. I look over at him and I see him look at the Lightning emblem on the fender. He has this ****y look on his face like "what ever". So the light turns green and I feather it off the line to see what he's going to do. He slowly comes off as well, so I gave it a rev to give him a ear full of exhaust, which was great because it was a conv. and he had the top down. I then continue to cruise and he nails it! He pulls about a length in front of me and I hit it to try and keep up. I then see a car pull out of a street up ahead and quickly get out of it. I pulled behind him and followed a bit but there was just too much traffic to do anything.

His look on his face just pissed me off. I wish he would have hit it out of the hole so I could show him what my little POS $30K 5K lb TRUCK could do. I think it would have been fairly close, or at least closer than he would expect if we did race. It just wasn't the place or time to do it safely.

Anyone ever seen a Modena at the track? I think they run mid to high 12's. If so, it should be pretty even with my mods.
