Message	Was in a line of traffic (right lane) waiting to get on 400 off Holcomb Bridge (for the GA folks). Being a bit impatient this morning, I pulled into the empty left lane expecting to get on it enough to pull back infront of the cars before the on-ramp...about 1/8 mile away. Hair-pin turn, by the way. So I pull up and find myself next to a Typhoon. I'm thinking, great...I'm not going to be able to make the ramp now. Not really thinking about racing, just getting to the office...the light changes. I accelerate moderately, thinking the guy/gal is going to give it to me. Nope. I get the jump. Then he jumps...and I mean jumps...literally. It was like, BAM...I looked over and he was right there. We were both on it pretty hard and he never pulled on me. Obviously he got off of it in anticipation of the sharp on-ramp coming up quick. Not me. :-) Hit it hard enough to hang it out there a bit. Anyone know what they run...seems like I read somewhere they do mid-14's stock??? Those things look pretty stealthy. dg
