Got beat today...was bound to happen sooner or later...

Well guys like the title says, I got beat bad today.

We started out on a roll on the freeway from about 70 MPH, this guy just pulls away from me, HARD. You know that whole emotional rollercoaster you go through when doing not-so-legal things on the street? Heart pounding, I see him roll up on me in my rear view, I know he is going to want to try me...No worries, I think, I got this guy, just roll the throttle down as he hits mid passenger door and I've got him. I see his front bumper in my peripheral vision start to come into view, i slowly lay into the go pedal, he is still hanging there right at my side. I start to get nervous, my mind and heart racing, how could it be? This is not happening....
I roll full to the floor, feel the switch give way under my pedal, now he is done for sure right? He pulls hard ahead, I see his tail lights, I am losing! My beloved AMG with all the trimmings is being decimated by an obviously superior engineered machine. With a sound between a happy camel and a twin engine Cessna, I see him disappear into the horizon ahead of me. Tail between my legs I go home, browsing for performance parts. What upgrades can I put into play to be the victor against such a powerful foe...

I understand 'different strokes for different folks' but I mean, how does one walk away from that thinking, 'God that's a hot looking car' ?

I can honestly say I don't know what that is for sure. Maybe an early Cavalier or Sunbird? It has been so perverted by jagged metal, chrome in wrong places and horribly-gone-wrong-airbrushing that I can't discern exactly what is was. If I'd have been packing a flame thrower though...

Maybe you should just switch the guy cars and than you will be faster. I am sure he would oblige!

That, my friend, is a 1993-1995 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. Watch out, they come in 2.2 and 2.5L turbo, as well as a V-6. Be careful, they are very deceptive.
