I was driving (in Mexico) and there was a brand new (dlr tags still on it) Mercedes E500 with this little old couple in it in the passing lane, not passing but keeping pace with the car next to him(huge pet peeve of mine).  Well there was also a car in the middle and the right lane. I go back and forth from the passing to the middle lane for a mile or two until the right lane opens.  So I said screw this and passed on the right.   Well as I do, I notice the Merc that was doing 60 is not pacing me at 80 and then tries to take off.  I put the pedal down and look over as I do to see his wife giving him HELL.  After a few more seconds he's 5 or 6 car lengths behind me and finally gives up, deciding it was a lost cause.
Now.. was she giving him hell for acting like a jackass or was she giving him hell for losing to a car that cost $30k less than theirs?  ;)

Ok I blew thus one. Got caught with my pants down. Never really looked at a Tesla model S before. This one was different some kinda way. So left turn from red light. I purposely turn behind slow moving truck to get better look. SURPRISE! That Tesla took off like a bat outta hell. I jumped his bumper. Traffic now prevented a head to head battle. We both turned into residential area so no real victor here.

I read some of those cars are upwards of 400hp. An electric car? Ok, now I'm hunting for the next one!

You would need some meth to keep up with the S model P85. They do low 12's in the 1/4 mile... But they aren't AWD. Very nice car and electric above all!

WHILE IN MEXICO...
It is funny as we humoristically mention that we were driving in Mexico when we do a street race lol... Just for you to know, I was in México City (for real) during 10 days... I go there every year to visit my in-laws and friends. This is a big city with 20M+ people and 8M cars! Many crap cars, but many nice ones too. I see many Ford's: Explorer are very popular, Escape too, Fusions, Focus, Fiesta... But in the last 4 years, keeping my eyes wide opened, I have only seen one Taurus 2010+. Actually, it was a police car 2013 lol. So, I just found it very funny when reading you guys saying that you were driving in México with a Taurus, when there are actually none to see lol! Just saying!
Cheers!

I've seen them but never studied them. He caught me totally off guard. But that link shows 4.6 to 60 mph. That ain't at all!

I haven't shared my one and only kill yet!
I was at a light on a 50mph road and I could hear this kid next to my in an mid 2000's Shelby Mustang convertible revving his engine like he was going to stomp on it at the light. I figured he had no idea the Taurus next to him was about to keep up! So I bring my car up to about 1200 rpm, just to launch a little bit harder and spanked him from about 0-60. When we got to the next light he asks: "Dang! How much horsepower does that thing have?" I responded with "enough". Haha. I'm thinking he was out out taking daddy's car for a joy ride. He probably came home with a new found respect for Taurii! I hope he told dad all about it. Who knows, maybe I made a sale right then and there!

That's a good kill.  If it is a new E550, that's a twin turbo v8.

Been shitty weather lately and today is the first day the roads have been kinda dry.
Stuck in traffic and two young kids in a older, like 98 mustang with exhaust done are revving engine and jumping forward... The next break I jumped behind to keep up for fun and they noticed..
Next light he pulled next to me and waved me forward..
Sooo
He must not of had much done because I crushed him..
Next light he rolls up with jaw on the ground wanting to know what I did to the truck...
It was fun..
