    Well, tonight at a stoplight, my super by the rules friend pulled up next to me in my GP, and gave me a few revs. He drives an old man tan '96 Mercedes E320. So i figured, eh, why not. No one's around, it's small town Iowa. So I waited for the light to go green, and definitely got some wheelspin, he was with me until I hooked up, but when I got grip, his cute little Benz dropped back like he was braking XD. I didn't expect to destroy him, but I sure did. You'd think a 3.2 V6 DOHC 24 valve would at least fight a little, but I guess the weight of the panzer tank kept it back. Oh well, I still won.
