Default S2k vs Mercedes ML500

Coming home from Best Buy and by Bloomington Honda a ML500 with three guys rev'ved at me at the light, at first I didn't bite but then they step on the gas and slammed the brake bouncing the Mercedes up and down like it had switches. After a few barks from them I bite and rev'ved back just to stop them from cuzing a scene, guy smiled back and moved up half a car. It's a no contest kind of situation but I figure they wanted to be embarrass so I let them have it, I took off leaving them in the dust when the light turned green. I had 5 cars on him 'til I stop at the next light (which was Portland Ave if anyone's from around here), after that I just went my own way but looked back and them guys were swirving all over the place behind cuz they lost.

I have a ML430 "winter beater". I raced my friend in his RX-8 (manual) and beat him pretty bad. I guess he can't drive but after getting wasted by my SUV, he didn't even want to bother racing my S2000 or 350z. I have also kept up with a SMG M3 up to about 50 mph with break launch and tiptronic mode. So much that the guy couldn't believe my SUV wasn't a ML55 AMG for 2 hours after that.

Rx-8's are so slow....I would much rather have the previous TT generation.

that Rx8 are slow in stock form, it can't even beat my bro's 4th gen Vtec lude. My bro's lude has i/h/e mods and run a 14.6 1/4 time, not bad for a stock h22a1 lude but then again if a Rx8 have the same mods then it'll be a different story.
