my s-class diesel outcornered a rice rocket!!! man was that fun!

i still dont know how, but i outcornered a rice rocket(lowered civic) tonight on some s-curves by my house. My car is an 83 300SD. I pulled onto this road by my house that leads up to some s-curves, about a minute later i hear a roaring rocket(rice rocket) engine coming up behind me, and then he's tailgating me. I was fully intending on taking it nice and easy around these things, but now i had a challenge. I floored my old diesel, putting a nice cloud of smoke behind me, hitting the first s-curve at about 45.(they recommend 20 or 25,i forget), anyway, it was doing just fine so i pushed her a little more, and then it started to squeal, i was just on the edge. Next corner is a little tighter, so i settled in at around 43, she responded nicely and right after the apex of the corner i flored it and she exited a tad under 50, to my surprise the rice rocket was a couple lengths behind me!! after i backed off i could hear his rocket engine roaring like mad, he then didn't tailgate me anymore, and i got a nice wave out his sunroof as i pulled into my neighborhood. I"m not sure if he just couldn't drive or what, but that sure was fun
