I get people driving like ****s around me since I got the GT86. I generally just ignore them. I have only raced one person off the lights and that was a 400cc scooter. Of course he got a car length or two before I realed him in.

On my motorbike however I like playing with cars for a while, like a cat teasing a mouse. I let them rev, catch me, then I add a crack more throttle, 1000 revs and 10mph and wait again for them to catch me. After this goes on for 2 or 3 times I shift up one gear and actually wind it open. BYE! The 0-30mph part I don't play with, bikes are too easy to mess yourself up on by popping a wheel or high siding due to wheel spin. But it's the 30 to speed limit and beyond that surprises almost anything on the road. My bike pulls better in 6th at 100mph than the GT86 does in 1st at 20mph. It's not even a sports bike.
