ran with an S6 (V10)

So I just had some fun with an S6...
Here's some detail on the S6 ('cause I didn't know until just now myself)
$75,000
5.2L V10
6spd auto
7,000rpm redline
420-435hp ('06 - '07)
398ftlb
4486lbs
0-60 ~4.8s
1320 ~13.3s
So anyway, he wanted to play. I was chasing him out of 1 intersection, then we were in traffic for a while (2 lane "country" roads). Then we finally get to a left hand turn to a 4lane divided road - he's still in front.
Open road. we're on it from a slow roll - punched it mid turn.
1st gear = even
2nd gear = I actually inch up a bit (right on his tail from the punch)
3rd gear = he pulls 1 car
4th gear = he started pulling more, maybe another 2 cars, then we shut down around 90 (I know this is where he would just keep putting busses on me if we kept going >100)
I would give anything to have been a fly in his $75k car when he was not pulling away imediately... I'm sure he though he could just brush me off within a gear or 2.
I really like this car!
