Something interesting - Myth Busted?

Something interesting happened to me this morning. I was sitting at a light, and black M35 pulled up. Immediately I knew that he would go at it. As soon as the light changed green, I stepped on it........ and so did he. He did beat me slightly from the start, but at about 6000 RMP, my RL pulled up in front of the M35 and he could not catch up anymore (He was very, very close, but could not pass me). I did let the gas go at about 87 mph.

This was interesting to me, since I was thinking that M35 was slightly faster than RL. I was expecting him to beat me, but this did not happen. He also had a passenger, and I did not. So maybe the weight has something to do with it, or maybe my K&N air filter. (witch is hard to believe in)

your RL is heavier than him, giving that ur car is AWD

but you got i-VTEC and high rpm advantage on the G35, which they are not strong at high rpm so u could have pull in front of him

same thign to my TL, the camry SE 3.3L V6 got me at the start but once VTEC kicks in i just pull in front of him, gotta love the high end power of Honda
