I was behind an S in my 99 vig on a long sweeping ramp. The ramp has a long straight section then an elbow followed by a long straight merging lane. The S got on it on the first straight, I stayed with him, but not too close, when he hit the bend he braked late an went over the white line on the inside (there's a whole lane worth of pavement inside the white), shame on him. I held my line and pressed a little harder, closing on him, "showed him my wheel", then dropped back a little. We shadowed each other a bit in traffic on the hiway, nothing stupid. When traffic cleared, I jumped on it with the S behind me. We got up to about 100, pretty even, I may have pulled on him a little, and backed off. I moved into the right lane and slowed down, he pulled up next to me for a bit, and gave me a wave, shot ahead and exited, nice. I wouldn't want to mess with one of those things off the line, but on the hiway, the viggen's a monster.
