I've smoked a Lotus..

OK it was (as I found out later) a wimpy Lotus Elan, but it's still a Lotus.
The guy was next to me at the traffic light and I thought about racing him just for fun, since I was sure he would smoke me. I started revving like mad with my electric mixer-sound engine and sped off in a hurry as the light turned green. He didn't follow so I cut in front of him aggresively.
At the next traffic light however we exchanged glances and both stood on the gas as the light turned green. He got almost one car length ahead with the tail of the Lotus wiggling left-right as I struggled to control first gear. Shifted into second and found myself next to his back wheels. As the rpms went up and I shifted into third, I slowly but steadily went by him with a huge grin on my face. Boy the guy was really mad, he also had his girlfriend with him!
