Beat him!!
We were rolling side by side at about 20 mph when the light turned, I already had the car in first and kicked it. The lanes merged in about 100 feet, so it was for position. By the time he got everything together I was half of a car ahead of him. We hung side by side like that with his nose at my door handle for about 50 feet past the end of the lane then he fel in behind me. Luckily we didnt go through a shift, He had a 6 speed and I would have definitely gotten blown away on the 1-2 shift.
It turns out it was this kid I went to high school with and he was just bringing it back from the dealership and showing it of to one of his friends.
I realize that in any normal situation I would have had my ass handed to me, but until we get a chance to really race, (next wednesday night at epping) he still lost to a "Grandpa Car"
