I just drag raced a Nissan Juke at a traffic light, and I won! But not quite enough to get the lane I was trying to steal from him. It was tons of fun.
Another time a few months back, I street dragged a BMW somethingeruther, and he beat me but by about one car length. Needless to say he was very surprised. Oh, that race was going slightly uphill.
Anyone else have some good V10 stories?

ha, I am still really young at heart. (immature?) anyway, my 09 F350 has 30k miles on a brand new ford crate motor. Plus a 5star tuner. It surprises everyone. I ran nose to nose with a General Lee (it was a little rough, but it sounded good)
Also, pretty much anyone that pulls up next to me and thinks that they will beat me from the light to where their lane merges into mine. And that includes the timid ones that don't want to wait for a truck and travel trailer to get moving and get beat too. love this truck like a mistress. and spend even more on it

I was headed out of a small town with my 06 v10 and had a newer Chevy 1500 on my bumper and at the 55mph sign he pulled into the left lane and dropped the hammer. He was door to door to me by the time my ornery side got the best of me and had the v10 screaming, in about three seconds he was back behind my rear bumper and stayed there until we hit 75/80mph then he ever so slowly passed me...... Should have quit at 70 and enjoyed it.

My second best story, I was pulling my 35ft flat bed (7000/8000lbs empty) and while I was making a left turn from one HWY to another and a mid 90s Ford f150 that had been following me tried to pass literally as I was turning, I put my foot into the skinny pedal just a little harder then normal and he stayed next to me for a good bit then when he finally looked at me I waved at him and engaged warp drive. 
He might've had a chance if I'd been loaded with 14 bales of hay, with the truck/trailer and hay I run around 30,000/36,000lbs gross.

While I don't do a whole lot of stop-light racing these days, I recently had a fun one, but not in my truck. I was in my '88 GT and saw some dillweed in a Duramx intentionally rolling smoke into car windows one by one as he made his way through traffic. His was loud as hell and as he came up along side my Mustang I made sure I had the trans in the right gear for a healthy rolling start and watched his passengers giggling with delight out of my peripheral vision, cheering him on. So as soon as I heard him jump on it, I gave it a little gas and wound up door-to-door with him. He tried again and like a bad street fighter telegraphing his punch, when I heard that loud exhaust I stabbed it again and kept him there. We ran it up to about 60 or so and I looked over, and waved him on with my middle finger, letting him know we could do this all day long. He dropped back and looked for something else to entertain himself with. I miss that car...

I normally drive like an old man because it costs so much to fill this thing up, but thoroughly enjoy the times when I go to WOT and what the guy next to me thinks is a lumbering beast shoots off like a rocket instead. 
I'm pretty sure I can see the fuel gauge move when that happens, so maybe they get the last laugh?
