Lexus GS400 vs TL

My friends and I were heading to a party last night and encountered some big dude in a 2000ish GS400. He was constantly tailing me so I figured why not. As soon as the freeway starts, the furthest right lane has to merge. He was in the furthest right lane and I was in the lane right next to it.

I noticed him inching forward so I decide to turn off traction control and give it a go.

As soon as the light turns green I get a pretty good launch with 0 wheelspin .. but to my surprise he's like a half car in front of me up to about 40mph.

I switch over lanes to let him merge and take it up to higher speeds.

As soon as I get into 3rd he was a few car lengths back and I shut off at about 105mph.

I guess I was caught off guard on the launch .. I hate 5AT lol.

I had a guy who i used to work with who had a 1999 Lexus GS 400 and always wanted to race my TL when I had it because it had an exhaust.

He always screamed my V8 will kill you. funny

I was expecting to leave him in the dust .. but of course I had an extra 350 pounds in the car ..

Or maybe my car is just getting old?

extra 350lbs FTL you'll lose to alot of cars with that kind of weight in the car, Thats probably why you had 0 wheel spin! LOL
