How low do you go?

Cruising down the highway doing 55 on a m7. A pesky mustang pulls along side and challenges. What's the lowest gear you'd drop it in to show him who he's monkeying with?

Two kinds of challenges. Sleepers that will beat your butt & guys who just want to see the StingRay run.

Wave him off, take it to the track, public streets are not the place to race.

NOOOoooo... what a sin!! Goose it just enough to get him to stomp on it and then give him the lead. Let him scout for troopers for you and pray he's goin' where you're goin'. Nothing like grooming a rabbit to take tickets for you.

I go really low, I voice dial 911 and tell them there's a guy in a Mustang waving a gun around. Chances are if they stop him, he probably does have a gun, well, because Mustang....
