I have one video of my 928S4 playing with a Civic with some B16 engine (or something like that) in it. The video is from the inside of HIS car, so it's very neat.
Now....how do I get it here so folks can watch it??

My car lives on through memories!
Apparently, my friend beat some ferrari from a roll when I let him borrow my car. This was just before the devek/supermodel event. I had totally forgot about it.
And this one other time, I came to an intersection and got into the right-turn late. There were 3 kids (2 guys and a girl) in some hopped up old nova to the left of me. Just before I made my turn, one of the kids yelled to me "Hey, you wanna race?". I didn't have anything better to do, so I said "Sure, let me get ahead of you". So the light turns green, and I cut over into their lane and lead them to the "Redondo Beach Speedway". Its just a nice 4-lane truck-route that is empty past 6PM. Just before we made the turn onto the speedway, I said "That thing sounds pretty mean, how much power you got?". He looked at me with this huge smile on his face and said "A LOT!". So, we make the turn, i hold 1st gear at about 3500rpms. We both nail it and I pull a full car length by the end of 1st gear. We meet at the end of the street and he says "WOW! NICE". So we make a u-turn and go at it again. This time, I got partially through 2nd gear and had a good 4 car lengths on him. After that, we both turned back onto the main street and stopped at a light. Talked for a minute, then I was off.

Last night I was on the Las Vegas Strip south turning onto I-215 and I had a Subaru SVX at the light. The driver looked over at me, revved the engine and put his driving gloves on, so I waited for the light to turn green and went around him and literally passed him up as the onramp as 2 lanes turned to one, he was still trying to keep up on the highway until I hit the kickdown and a few seconds later couldn't see him. I just Googled the car and they are pretty rare machines, but no match for the '86 auto.

Reading about the Subaru reminded me on a slight encounter with one last month. I was coming onto a major divided highway going from south to east with the ramp being a decreasing radius curve. I decided to punch it once I began to merge into traffic at the top of the ramp because I could see a bunch of traffic on the highway about to make it up to where I was & I wanted to stay ahead of them.
Directly ahead in my merge lane was a Subaru Impreza WRX. It was like everyone of them I've seen, the bright royal blue color & from what I saw it was not the 300hp STI version with the high ridiculous rear spoiler, but instead the base turbo which has about 225 hp. I didnt think much of him other than to notice he was right ahead of me as I entered the highway since that lane we were on also exits right back off to the road I came from on the other side of the overpass. I thought he was exiting.... guess he saw me fly past him to his left & decided to catch up & play. My exit was within barely half a mile and the exit lane is a long lane that takes its time in leaving the highway. I happen to notice him pull up to me on my left because he came up & just sat there next to me & there were no other cars around me. Well, I had already began to slow down from my initial romp on the gas due to the exit upcoming. I wasnt about to even look over to acknowledge his matchbox turbo, I just stood on it again & left him by several car lengths before I had to slow back down as my lane left the highway. Had he been in the 300 hp version, well maybe not cause I hear those can really scream with the light weight of the car. I have respect for what those cars can do with their specs & the all wheel drive & I hear they are a blast to drive. I figured on looks of the cars alone they are not even in the same league as a shark, so I wouldnt even pay the respect to look over at him, just gave him another good look at the rear of my Shark!

Not much of a kill story -
I was in the right lane at a stoplight next to a red truck that had been customized so much I didn't recognize the make. I needed to be in the left lane to make the turn at the next intersection. I figured I'd just let the truck get ahead of me and pull in behing him, but when the light turned green he started pacing me and revving his engine, so I just stomped the accelerator and was 5 car lengths ahead of him so fast he didn't have time to react. I pulled into the left lane and he just hung back that same distance all the way to the next intersection. My wife just laughed.

Was driving home last night on Woodward Avenue and spotted a brand new Jaguar XK8 4.2 cruising in the center lane. The "metrosexual" driver was young for the car (late 20's-early 30's) and had more gel in his hair than Pam Anderson has in her...well you know.
At the 13 Mile Road intersection we wound up as the two front cars at the light. He looked over at the Shark while we sat at the light confident that he had the superior machine. Rather like the British navy initally dismissed the German U-Boats.
The light turned green and he took off hard enough to squeal his tires. Big Mistake. He was quickly looking at the rear end of the Shark as I pulled a half dozen car lengths on him. At the red light at the 14 Mile Road intersection he studiously avoided looking over and took cover behind a minivan.

Kills -
1. Caddy STS with kid dirving Daddy's Caddy pulled a good bus length or more up to about 110mph
2. Mitsubishi 3000GT ( left him at a light and then again from a roll of about 50mph up to 120 )
3. V6 Mustang ( HAHA, could not believe he wanted to race me )
4. Toyota Celica ( again HAHAHA )
5. BMW M3 ( he was not really a kill, but He kept reving his engine and looking at me while we were at stop light in heavy traffic. Once we got to a light and we were on the line I power breaked and nailed it and he refused to go...all "flash" and no go )
Non Kills
1. A rice boy in an Import of some kind ( weird body kits ). I pulled up beside him and he punched it. I was not expecting it so I hit it after he did. He had about 3/4 of a car on me from nailing it first. He didn't pull and I didn't gain. I would have liked to go from a light with him. He was obviously FAR from stock.

996 cab isnt that quick or should i say the black SE kicks ***! saw what i thought was a boxster coming as i pulled onto some dual carriageway so i let him close the gap before givving it some and leaping away, he takes the bait and i see his headlights jump as the rear squats but hes going backwards in my mirror, like id expect for a boxster, so i pull into the other lane and he comes steaming up and past when i notice its a 996 cab. pulled in behind him and closed the gap without even breaking a sweat for the SE before reaching my exit. would have been a different story in the 86 though.
