Kept up with a 2010 Mazda Speed3
Saw a car with a hood scoop coming up behind me when I was going about 40 and I punched it. The front of his car was about even with my rear bumper and stayed there until we got to 120 and I had to left off the gas because there was a traffic light. Could smelll my brake pads lose about a quarter inch.
I was by myself and it looked like he had someone in the passanger seat. Didn't realize these had turbos in them, 0-60 in 5.2 and quarter is 13.9 @ 102. Wasn't able to race him off the line because I had to turn.
Was pretty invigorating, haven't gotten the speedo up that high in awhile.

Yes.
My daugter's boyfriend has a slightly modified '08 - upgraded to a GT35 turbo and FMIC. If I remember correctly, it ran a 13.2 last year. Not bad given our altitude (~2200 ft) and the extra weight he was carrying with subwoofers...

It surprised me, I thought I would blow it away. I've got the K&N and magnaflow cat back, plus I had the diablo tune in it with premium gas.
Then I looked it up on the net and saw why I didn't get away from him. He was coming up from behind me though so he did get a bit of a jump on me. If we started at the same speed I think I could have taken him.
