Did have a cool kill a couple days ago, Lotus Esprit V8

[GTO Jimmy]

So I was going home to pick up my wife for lunch, when I spot a low black sportscar coming up from behind. I thought it was a ferrari of some sort at first glance, but when he got next to me I saw the badges on it. Looked like this but black with black wheels:

It was actually pretty throaty, so I imagine he had some exhaust work done to it. Well I was just sitting there admiring his sweet ride when he started to jump it at me and mess with me. Of course I got a nice smirk on my face and decided to show him he messed with the WRONG Goat!:bat:

So I went ahead and motioned to him to hit it, and he did right as I dropped to third. By the top of third I had caught and passed him, by the top of fourth it was buslengths. :D He pulled back up to me with that WHAT THE F%$K look on his face and was just shaking his head. Then a thumbs up and off he went up through traffic.

So as soon as I got home I looked up the stats on it and this is what I came up with:

must have been great getting the "WHAT THE **** IS THAT???" look.
he won't pick on a GTO for a while... getting his doors blown off like I'm sure you did "leaves a mark"
