I had one of these trying to race me, story below
Merc 350 SL
I was sat at the lights after a dc and was taking the 3rd exit on a big roundabout with traffic lights, now the 3rd exit is 2 lanes then stops at some lights. After the lights it goes into a single lane.
On the roundabout I was sat next to this above car with two blondes (bottle) looked like mother and daughter which was apt as I was with my mum. I set off at the lights and come off the roundabout go round a tight left hander and as I am in front of this car by a way I pull in before the lights so I dont have to race to merge.
Well the woman obviously took exception to me not wanting to race and pulls up next to me at the traffic lights, the only reason she does this is to nurf me from the lights. My mum at this point is blissfully unaware what is going to happen next and is sat reading her boots reciept.
So I sit at the lights thinking will she set of like a pro? and shall I smoke my clutch to prove a point. Anyways I decide I like my clutch and so wait to see what see does. Lights go green and she guns it, I am rooling and so put my foot down, by the time I get to 3500rpm my tubby is on song and by the end of first gear she is way behind, use a tiny bit of second but really no need.
The car would have sounded like a monster with her roof down as it shot past, my mum at this point was saying "jesus what you doing" I explain to her I had to teach the woman a lesson.
Ah well GT4 1 expensive Merc 0
Ps this was at 0.9bar as well.
