Ran a Vortech S/C G35 Coupe
First off let me say that if there is a reason why I don't like to race anyone, its people like this guy. We both made a left turn (he was behind me) and he floors it, so I floor it as well. I wasn't pulling terribly hard, so I figured he has something other than the fancy rims. Anyways, we come to a stop light and he says he will 'show me that he'll smoke me'. Well... stoplights arn't of the greatest advantage for me (FWD vs. RWD), so I try to leave early, but still he gets me off the line and we get to another stop light. Now he's talking major trash... how he'll smoke me... this and that. Anyways, we both launch at the green and obviuosly he takes me by 2-3 car lengths off the line... I shift into 3rd and start reeling him in... the moment I hit his rear bumper (and I am pulling pretty well now) he shuts it down... waves his hands all over and says... 'See... smoked ya!'. I was like... is this the 1/8th mile or what?!?!
Anyways, I know he knows that I would have kicked his ass if it wasn't for that 3-car advantage off the line, but whatever....
In any case, his car was pretty quick... quite quick, must have been 8psi at least.

Reminds me of the good ol' days when I was racing my Camaro Z28 against a Mustang that always shut down early as I was starting to catch up. He had the traction advantage, and I had the power advantage. I was getting so fed up, that I told him to go to the track the next day and settle it - he declined. Maybe I'm too competitive sometimes...

Yeah, a typical race is well into 3rd and probably 4th. Even though our 3rd is enormous on the power band. He probably just made it into 3rd and shut it down. He didn't understand what racing was.

Sounds like you wasted gas on this guy. He probably was embarrased that he couldn't "smoke" you. Don't worry lot of these kids that are getting these G35 Coupes with mommy and daddy are wrapping them around trees anyway because they can't handle the power. We know you had em that's all that matters

Nowadays you chirp your tires and the cops are called, had them at my place a few times just doing some test and tuning, not even leaving the driveway. I guess too many late nights setting the rev limiter, pissed off the neighbores.

G35 driver is a tool, he had some HP, and RWD def helps him off the line, but sounds like those were some short stop lights, not a real race. Dont let it get you down.
