I must be getting old...and cranky.
Hehe, I know how you feel. Fortunately for me, I can usually "intimidate the compitition" with a quick scale to about 5000 RPM.
The sound of an air cooled flat six running upwards is usually enough to discourage even the most hardcore backwards cap wearing Civic Si Type R SXT Turbo ///M AMG SC Superduper Hellafast yo driver in his squeakin ride.
They;re used to hearing fart cans all day, the sound of anything with more than four cylinders is breathtalinjg to them... I can only imagine what it would be like if they pulled up next to an early GTO or Camaro - they'd probably wet their pants.
Good thing for me Ive got this massive whine (fan) in the engine bay - they probably think its a supercharger.
If all else fails, I can always try and get them to follow me into some "twisties." Although learning the definition of "apex" is usually a lesson paid for by check... I think Id feel kind of bad - what with all the understeer built into their own personal Top Fuel drag cars.
