ML55 vs S2000

This was a fun one, I was driving around through my usual "enjoyment road" ( a road i go through, reminds me of a european road, tons of bends and such ) and on the way back I go down all the way to 54th street via the henry hudson parkway, do a U turn and I line up at a red light that goes up to highway with no lights, no cars infront, no place for cops to hide, simply awesome. As I come, I come to a stop, and a S2000 pull along side, top down, I look at the guy, shift into neutral, and rev, he looks, nods. Its on. Put the ML back into D. Wait for green, we both take off, he spins his wheels, no traction off the line, I have a one car lead on him, we hit 90 by the time we had to slow for traffic, my lead grew to 2 lengths. I slow down he pulls along, gives me a thumbs up, I return the favor, both smile, I get off at my exit. He definitley had an exhaust, that car was LOUD. I had my windows down, I beat him silly with a 5000lb suv =)
