I once blew by a Ferrari in my 1981 Datsun 310.

Renaults have about three feet of suspension travel, and the left side was fully compressed whilst the right side was fully extended. I think about halfway around the ramp when Ferrari guy realized something was up, and he got right on my ass. He could have easily passed, but he was probably concerned the Le Car might roll or explode. When the lane opened up, he exploded around on the left. I managed a peek at the license plate despite white knuckling the padded steering wheel, and it said CART 1. I assumed it was the current CART champion at the time, which would have been Bobby Rahal. So yeah, I held off Bobby Rahal for a corner.

I will bite on the CL pre owned bike. I needed a second (third really) bike to have up for my 4-5 week visits at the lake house in Northern Michigan. Great riding and a decent riding group in the family that share the the house. Found a 5 year lightly used Bianchi Intenso from a super sweet roadie. Great deal and wonderful ride. Put about 5-600 fun miles in and can’t wait for a fall trip back. No more shipping back and forth. Spent the weeks with some decent competitive rides with my sister in law and locals in a heavenly place to ride.

I blew past a guy today and left him in my dust. I'm not sure if he knew we were racing, but the kid in the child seat sure knew it was on.
