Raced a red Lotus Esprit

Ok, not really But I was leaving work and came up to the first light right next to a rumbling red Esprit. I was hoping he would rev on me, just for shits, but he didnt.

Anyway, we both took off and at about 35 I punched it hoping he would too, but no luck. Didnt want to take the bait. Of course, I knew I would get , but I wanted to see that bad boy take off. What an awesome car.

I still regret the day I was riding my TLR when I lived in Irvine and saw an S7 come out of the Saleen shop I didnt turn around to catch him, or at least try .
