Won a race with the 2.8L! :)
I was cruising like I do every friday night when I came uppon a 1995 Hyundai Elantra GLS (1.8L 16V TwinCam) manual. He played with me when I was next to him so to the next stop, I footbrake it at 1700RPM, I launch pretty hard, at first we were neck to neck and at about 45 I started to pass him pretty bad. We tried it a couple of times and I always won, the guy was cool he said good race he tought I had a 305 or something like that, it's the face he did when I told him it's the mighty 2.8L, it was priceless...

Yeah I know it won't happen to often. 
I have the car for 2 years now and only win a few times... I also won a while ago against a Monte Carlo with a 305 (not running so good I think). It's pretty much all I can remember, all the other times I've lost
