Megane Sport
Just pulled away from the lights at usual pace - nothing too aggressive 
when some monkey in a megane sport wanted to play, and I mean play. Was swerving all over my backside trying to prove some kinda point 
Came to a stop at the next lights and sat behind me as no room to pull alongside.
S2k pride was calling so dropped the hammer. The look on his face was superb - muppet. I'm sure he thought he'd be all over me but whatever.
Can't say I know much about these - engine size, power?
Looked cool in the full on bodykit but that don't make you go fast

Alright smarty pants - got one of these in your garage or something? 
Fair contender then? Well - sort of

they are pretty fast cars but the S should still have the edge as your encounter seemed to show.
wouldn't want to wake up and look at one of those every morning though - talk about pulling a minger!

I assume you're talking about the current version and not an earlier one? The current ones have traction control to completely kill you and the older ones spin their wheels like ****. My son has an older Megane Coupe 2.0 and it's a bit on the mental side because of the extremely light weight, but no match for the S and it's sh*t to drive (no feel) and wobbly everything

I you need to know is 225 and a decent amount of torque through the front wheel doesn't work very well. Tried this back in the day (LOL) with the old 5Turbo with a Renault 21 1700T under the hood, what a waste of time that was. No competition for the S, especially from a standing start and the S should have longer legs as that extra 2K up to redline should see him off.
