I think it'd be more satisfying killing ricers with that sleeper. But then it'll be over too quickly, so may I suggest maintaining a balance.

Ha ha with ricers I would just mess with them. I'd gunt it and get really far ahead, slow down, let them catch up and then stomp on it again, then slow down, etc. etc. Like "oh you're catching up...oh wait no you're not....ohOH you're gonna break even...oh...no your're not.....but WAIT....you get the idea ;0)

LOL! Good idea, I wonder how long we'd be able to keep it up till they attempt their ricer fly-by.

I'd put a C220 badge on it and tell people I got AMG cladding and an AMG engine cover with a "custom exhaust," and watch jaws drop.
