Message Seriously though! My friend and I were on our way to help a buddy move some furniture tonight in Rancho Bernardo, right outside San Diego. So I miss his road and have to drive about 4 miles to the next light to make a U-turn. Waiting there, adjacent to us at the oncoming light was a yellow Lamborghini! I'm not sure of the model but it had 2 roll bars, one behind each seat. This is definitely what it was, but it was a convertable:

So I get the light first, turn around and just putt up the road in 2nd waiting for him to get the green. Sure enough he comes up behind me and gets in the lane to my left, but were both only doing about 40... So I give her a little throttle, get about a car length in front of him, he does it to me, and were off! I tach out 2nd and throw it into third, and am amazed at how LOUD this car is! This thing sounded MEAN, and it was right out my window! What gets me, and my friend and I were discussing, is how badly I DIDN’T lose... I mean, he never stopped pulling away from me, but by the time we were doing 120 he was only about 3 - 4 car lengths up.. I think he must have been playing with me. Anyway, at that point my attention (and his too) focused on the traffic further up the road. So he let off, dropped back by me, the passenger gave a wave, and that was that!

This isn’t the fastest I've been in the Z, but it's definitely the fastest I've ever been while racing someone, and it happened to be a Lamborghini! It was perfect too, cool evening, smooth, 3 lane road, and hardly any traffic. Anyway, I my heart was racing and I just thought I'd share!
