Jesus I don't really street race much anymore, but when I had my 03 mustang gt, everyone wanted to race because they new they could smoke me like challengers, charger...etc, now that I have my sl55 amg, nobody wants any part of it, the all concede and slow down before we can even start, man feels good, but I guess word got around you don't mess with sl55amg, or 63, when you se v8 kompressor badge, on biturbo, just don't even bother.

I got a challenge from a 911 turbo once. We pulled up to a red light and after it turned green we both mashed it.

The SL immediately went to limp mode due to bad accelerator pedal, and the 911 blew my doors off as I limped away.
Fixed the pedal and have not had a challenge since.

Give it time and you will have some fun again.
