Killed: 1990-96ish Infiniti Q45
So I was driving home from work around 2pm (I work early) on Rt. 422 near King of Prussia, Pa when some rasta looking dude in an old Infiniti Q45 spots me merge in real fast, the way I like to do sometimes and he starts tailing me until he could do a fly by. I thought it was funny and sped up. Never seen an old Q series and wanted to see what it had. I knew it was a V8 though. Turns out they produced 278hp/292tq. back then, but must have lost a lot of it over the years.
Anyhow we get on the turnpike (Rt.276) and wait for an open stretch to have a run. He's in front and floors it, but I quickly catch up, get ahead a bit and slow down to see if he'll do a roll, but....he just kept on going! I'm like
So he's like 5 cars ahead and I was able to eventually fly by again at about 110-115ish and pull 2 cars before shutting it down. He shuts it down too, gets in the other lane next to me I give him a
, but dude looked kinda upset. I was just having some fun, geez! Then we just roll through traffic going with the flow until I had to exit. End of story.

I am wondering when do you redline at the end of 3rd gear, at what speed? On a type S it would be roughly 100-105mph, but tl-p has a slightly lower redline so that's why I am asking.

yea, engine technology is growing at a rapid rate. It would be great if cars get lighter to further improve performance and fuel efficiency, but it seems like it's not heading that way.
