I've run against a Protege 5 wagon already. It was pretty nice looking but the driver was pretty cocky, driving pretty aggresively. Sadly enough, the driver was an older gentleman and he must have thought he was pretty fast so he attempted to blow by me. Needless to say, I waited until he was right beside me (with him still accelerating, momentum) and then I dropped a few gears and just stomped on the gas. Within seconds, I was carlength upon carlength ahead and still pulling pretty hard.
I know it's not fair to compare my Evo to his protege... but he was asking for it.
