I know the exact feeling MLC. I have had many a 'child' in his corsa or fiesta try to race me to only be left behind as my car does 20-70 faster then he can change gear...
No, as was mentioned, Fiesta/Corsa/Golf's are not much challenge, but, in my '04 1.9JTD I managed to make a '55' plate 320d look a complete fool as he tried to race me off the round-about and down the by-pass, by the time I was slowing for my turning he was a good few car length behind me because I was doing 50 to turn left...
Love it!
Don't do it too often, screws up my economy
