It's amazing what some people can see as a challenge.
The way you have described your scenario is a bit difficult to understand insofar as the specific timing of events... are you saying the Caddy driver had decided to stop before the light turned red... and
was stopped... and then you rolled through the intersection, and he hit the gas after you passed him?
You did say "He exploded from a dead stop."
Or did he hit the gas as you were rolling past him?
Just curious... did the yellow come on while you were in the intersection?
The way you have related the story, it sounds like this seemingly aggressive driver had come to a complete stop before the light turned red (or possibly before it turned yellow... or shortly thereafter).
