I have had similar experiences when I have tracked my SL55. The first time that I took it out...the guys were looking at me like..."What are you doing with this cruiser?" They were used to seeing me out there with the Indycar.
Much to their surprise the 55 out accellerated, outhandled and outbraked just about every street car out there except some heavily modified cars on slicks.
I have also managed to walk away from a CS on a mountain road....however in that case I think that I ran into an inexperienced driver who was on an unfamiliar road....and that road was one of my favorites! He was still a little shocked!
