Yeah, those three pointed stars plus AMG badging and 600 - 700 ft-lbs of torque will run away and hide. Been there.
About a week ago there was this other incident that I didn't start either.
Sitting at a traffic light waiting for the left arrow to an Interstate on-ramp turn green. From there, about a 150 yard straight shot to where the curve starts. Friend of my son's that I'd never met before (and who owns a 3-series BMW) was riding shotgun, so I was playing around a bit. There was this Infiniti G37 coupe that stayed on my tail from leaving the light to the curve, no big deal. Opening up a 75+ yard gap on him through the turn - unexpected . . . and satisfying.

About 25 years ago while driving my 1982 Mustang GT (most of you youngsters weren't even born yet) when a Mazda MX-6 pulled up along side me going east bound on I-84 in Connecticut. It was about 600am and he was driving next to me revving up the engine.I looked over at his very dark tinted windows and flipped him the bird. He then backed off and pulled behind me for several miles..A few minutes later a Nissan 300 zx went past us like we were standing still..All of a sudden the Madza lights up the flashers and sirens and pulls over the Nissan a few miles down the road..Man was I pissed, but I was the winner. The Nissan probably got a ticket and I went past them both doing the speed limit and yelling some choice words to the Trooper...Sometimes the slow and steady turtle wins the race..

A Ford GT, we did not race I was parked and he pulled up next to me parked got out and came right up to me and said, "I just wanted to tell you before I leave that your Mustang is nicest one I have ever seen." I told him "thanks a lot" it was a great feeling...
