My SS vs V8 Dodge Magnum
Was on my way home from the sporting goods store downtown. While I was on the express way I noticed this maroon colored magnum on my azz. I put the hammer down and got away from him rather quickly. I exited the expressway and the magnum followed. When he got up next to me he revved it to let me know he wanted to go at it. That's when I knew he was packin a v8. I revved back 
we were driving slowly to try and catch a red light and we did. When the light turn green we nailed it. Right then I realized I didn't have my tune on 
we went for about 1/8 mile. As he was pulling away (1-2 car lengths), he stuck his hand out the window and gave me the peace sign. He was pretty much rubbing in the fact that he beat me. Luckily, soon after our first run, we hit another red light. 
I revved and he revved back. It's on! Turned the esc off (which engages the trifecta awesomeness). Light turned green and I started throwing gears like a champ. Halfway through 3rd gear, I put about 2-3 car lengths on him. That's when I stuck my hand out the sunroof and gave HIM the peace sign
For those of you that don't know, those v8 magnums pump out 340 hp and 390 ft-lbs but they weigh in at a hefty 4280 lbs.

Last summer when we were in Tennessee some random dude in a new Challenger pulled up next to me at a stop light and revved his Hemi a few times.
I looked over at him with a “You got to be ****tin me” look but when the light changed he took off in a cloud of rubber smoke. The way traffic was on the road I ended up beside him again and he did the same thing. With the other cars on the road I ended up quite a ways ahead of him but soon enough we were beside each other again. Again he was revving the Hemi and I sat up and hunched forward a bit to egg him on and when the light changed off he went. I drove off like the old man I am but he was still given er.
About half a block up one of the cities finest decided to race him I guess, but he did cheat by putting on his red and blue lights.
