I had a silver R8 coming up FAST behind me once and before I could react he had passed me and was long gone 
I don't like to race other cars but I do like to follow and try to keep up

All I really do is pull up to a nice car, drop it into 3rd, take off and wait for him to do the same. I never really gets past that
I have never even changed lanes while doing this and the only time I do it is when the roads and extremely clear.
When I see an M5 fly by, I let the SB do it's job get behind him just so some of the 507hp may rub off on me

Have some sympathy for me. It was 1995, I was driving a Nissan 300ZX Twin turbo that I'd modded up to 450bhp, which had been good enough to record 186mph on the A9 Autobahn north of Munich. One day I'm heading out of town towards the Autobahn and I'm approaching the last traffic light on the edge of town. After that it's a straight on-ramp onto unrestricted Autobahn. So I'm getting close to this traffic light and what overtakes me? A Ferrari F40 and a Porsche 959. The speed limit heading out of town was 40mph and they went past me at about 80mph. They both snook through the traffic light as it was just turning red. I was still 25 yards away and no way I could make it through. I totally missed my chance to see how well I could have kept pace with 'em. It was 2 years later that I was in the Porsche dealer in the same town ordering my Boxster and I was chatting with the salesperson. He told me he knew the 959 owner - it was genuine and his brother was the one who owned the F40.

on the flip side, what's the point in engaging and entertaining these "boy racers"?

it happens all the time specially these guys in these 4 cylinder civics lmaooo
The videos of Civics on Youtube will make you sick. I'm 19, but I'll say the 16 year olds jizz their pants everytime a fart-can Civic beats a Murcielago on the track. The comments are even funnier.
