I was heading back to the station after finishing my last route. At a stoplight, I was next to an Audi A6 2.7T. When the light turned green, I floored it, which is SOP for getting moving. As it turned out, I was heading downhill, and gravity helps quite a bit in accelerating a 35,000 pound vehicle. I don't know that the Audi driver was trying to "race," but it sounds pretty cool to say I blew the doors off an A6 in my bus!
The speed limit where this took place is 45, and I was right around there when I backed off.
