That happens to me in My El Camino about twice a year for the last 20 years. Some moron in the lane next to me wants to run. I have lost many dozens of races I never knew I was in.

The most amazing was one of the new Cadillacs. I happened to approach the light as it turned green after the left turn lane light was done. The Caddy saw me rolling into the intersection with a 30 MPH head start. That thing darn near exploded off the line and vanished in a flash. I lost again, but I could not possibly care less.

I have never in my life "street raced" and I have no intention of trying. I did have a blast driving Laguna Seca at full speed a few weeks ago. My 911 did just great on track at the DE.
