06 SS/SC vs. TL

so i was driving home last night at around 2 when i see these bright headlights in my rear view, so i slow down to see what it is. The guy pulls up to me at the next red light, it was a brand new TL...he gives it a rev, and i give him a nod. As soon as the light turns green i let out one hell of a launch, no wheel hop...all traction..its a miracle. He spun a little bit and by the time we were across the intersection he was at my door, by 50 i had 4 cars on him...i decided that 4 cars was enough punishment for him and i let off (i never even went over the speed limit). The TL looks nice, but its barely worth the gas.

Yeah, I ran one once, similar situation. We both took off regularly, then at the other side of the intersection he floored it. I had already hit second, so it took me a few seconds to really get goin, but once I passed him I let off. Those cars are strong, very powerful and really nice to drive, but far too heavy to be a racecar.
