Ive seen 2 911 owners make complete ***'es out of themselves and also endanger others by trying to pass me in a backup or showoff. Its kinda funny

It's not so much which cars ARE adversaries as it is which owners THINK they are. While it's possible to buy or build a car that will outrun a vette on the drag strip, damn few can do that and keep up with it on a mountain road as well, certainly nothing within tens of thousands of dollars.

The closest to an adversary I've found so far was a BMW Z8. . . Guy in his mid-30s and his blonde girlfriend.
Wiped the smirk off of his 160k sports-car driving face, though.
As stated, anything can be fast--it's just the idiots driving that you have to be careful of. Around here, anything and everything tries to get me to go, you name it. Mustangs, Civics, etc. . .
The worst seem to be the Euro-sedans, though. M5s and 500/600-series Mercedes always seem to have something to prove.
And people with Nissans always seem to think they've got something hot, as well.
The biggest thing to remember is that they're not worth the gas
Just let 'em blow by and think they beat a 'vette. If someone ever DOES race them, they're in for a NASTY surprise.

Our biggest enemy is the rice burners with the huge fart can mufflers. They arent terribly dangerous speed/performance wise mind you.......but theres a million of them and they are all driven by pimple faced "Fast & The Furious" wanna-be's who cant drive worth a damn!!

An A4 C5?
Cars in that acceleration range, off the top of my head (give or take a half second).
STOCK cars with equal drivers:
BMW M3/M5
Porsche 911
Higher end Mercedes, supercharged V8s and twin turbo V12s (some of which are much faster than a C5).
03+ Mustang Cobra
98+ Firebird/Camaro (LS1 of course)
STi
EVO
GTO (especially the 05)
93+ Supra TT
Lightning (especially the newer 380hp ones)
Dope
