Finally a challenge

The title may sound like I think my car is "the bomb" but I don't. I drive a stock 91 mx83 cressida with 180k on the clock.
The reason behind the title is that noone has even bothered trying to run me from a set of lights before now (except a hilux once, but yeah)
The other night I was driving to work along Wanneroo Road headed towards Perth City when I pulled next to a dark blue EF falcon with a guy in his mid-20s driving. As I do from most lights I gave it a bit, and then so did he, so the next lights it was on.
One of his tyres squealed briefly on the green light and I had him by half a car through first and second up to ~90-100kph then backed off to ~120kph before i slowed back to the speed limit.
Only a minor victory, but with 1L and 4 years in favour of the EF, I'll take any small win I can.
I think Perth has a million people or so, making this occasion one in a million.
The next night along the same road another car was trying to play, but I didn't even bother...good thing too because there was a cop car at the same lights (obscure intersection so I didn't see it until further down the road).
