Inched out a new G37
At first I thought it was a new Altima coupe, but after he passed me I saw it was a new G37 coupe.
We went from a 80 roll, up to about 120mph (all 4th gear for me). I MAY have gotten a little jump, but he def was racing, and he did not gain an inch, and I think I may have even pulled a tiny bit.
I had my fiance with me also, and he appeared to be alone.
I'm sure some wont believe me, and I'm sure from a stop he would beat me (esp on 16" winter tires), but he def couldnt pull on me.

ehh, kinda hard to believe but its nothing outrageous, he might have been in a higher gear or shifted earlier than you at a lower rpm.. and im positive from a stop he would leave you behind, rated at about 5 seconds 0 to 60 manual transmission.. i also think its quite ignorant to race at those speeds especially if your fiance is with you?? maybe im wrong..

i've kept up with a g35 coupe manual in my legend, from similar speeds. I can see your pulling with him at those speeds also, honda V6 motors are beasts at higher RPM's and speeds.
our highways around here allow for driving 100+mph easy.

I probably did catch him in a higher gear, but I also could have shifted to 3rd, but decided to just go from 4th.
And from a stop he would DEFINITELY kill me, no arguiing that.

Lighter then most stock Honda/Acura wheels, it helps I suppose that they are 16" or 15" for those of us with smaller brakes

i think its very believeable especially when street racing. if someone gets the jump the other guy is basically playing catch up the whole time. but i think you would have had to have at least 1/2-1 car jump in order to pull on a g37 fromm 80mph-120mph. Even though the g37 is super heavy it makes power all the way to redline literally. check out this dyno.
