Recent encounters.......

Infinity FX45........... smoked me pretty badly on tha freeway..... we started at 65mph and he took me by at least 3 car lengths up to 120! He was takin' the twisties pretty good!!!
350Z conv......... On 880 San Jo he was tailgating me so I pulled to the right to let him pass but he slowed down and paced me...I slowed down to about 55mph, dropped it in 2nd and took off! I had him by 3+ car lengths so I slowed back down to 60 and let him pass me. I took of and caught him @ 90mph and pulled up to 115 and was 2 car lengths. I think he was stock......
SRT-4........... Started on tha bay bridge with him zig zagging thru cars tryin to pass me.. We finally had open road and I pulled on him pretty good I had a good lead on him(don't know how close because i was concentrated on drivin') but slowed down on some curves and he passed me and kept goin'. I caught up again and passed him doin 120+(pretty scary) I decided to ease off(I already beat him twice)but he kept goin... He must have been doin 130+.... It seems I got the jump but he would slowly catch up(turbo lag?)

Not to be a total downer, but, the CHP got 4 MILLION dollars for extra traffic enforcement-especially speeding and racing, because innocent bystanders or drivers are killed far too often.
New laws: Special driving zones- you have seen the white signs- 55- headlights ON by law.
double $$ fine and double points on record- same as construction zones.
72 in a special 55 = $451 PLUS not eligble for driver school.

IF you were spotted by one of the many traffic cameras or these new stealth bikes.....white BMWs in my area, with Officers wearing white shirt and helmet- look like any other rider- sneaky
If you recall a few years ago, the next in line to be King of Tonga was killed by a driver on 101 by the SFO airport, they never proved racing but the 17 year old girl in a new Mustang 5.0 clipped the front corner of an Explorer coming into its lane at higher speed and it rolled....end of story for 3 people minding their own business on the road. Manslaughter conviction.
Also- if they see you in any sort of exhibition of speed- like hi rev launch or even passing on the freeway on ramp is considered `racing`, now they can say it was reckless driving with its $2500 fine- yikes

Please- come to a track day at Thunderhill or Infineon or Laguna- I wouldnt start at Laguna-tricky track to learn on, for $150 to $250 for a full day on racetrack with a professional race driver as your co-pilot, you learn speed and control and will drive harder in 20 minute sessions than you have ever driven
Its all about full throttle to the brake point- apex- accellerate full throttle brake max effort accellerate- turn brake go fast brake turn go fast
Some of the instructors are also in law enforcement, when they are helping a beginner, its a great feeling to pass a cop as he waves you by at 100+ !

hmm that's weird cause, they stock they run 0-60 in 6.3s, and 1/4mile in 15s flat.

"Powered by a 315-hp version of the 4.5-liter Q45 V-8, coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission with obedient manumatic override, the FX45 rushes to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 15 seconds flat at 93 mph."

Faster times have the FX45 in the mid 14s:

Road and Track

....though the FX35 has more mod potential, with respect to the VQ35DE powertrain (a la Z and G35).

14.6s@96mph, that's pretty much the same trap speed as a 2nd gen TL-S according to C&D. If you are modded and you couldn't beat it, either your car has some problem (which I doubt since you rape 350z and others on pretty much a daily basis), or that FX is modded.

Lol I'm thinking if it's possible it was a FX35 with a FX45 badge and a stillen supercharger, if that's the case..then no wonder you lost.

I don't know if it was modded but it could have been his AWD and the twisties.... I wouldn't see how someone would want to mod a FX....why not just get a G35 or G37? It would be a total sleeper though!

I'm the only one in the area, well, one of two but the other guy's like my twin. Only difference is that his is lowered with some black rims and mine is stock height on Lude rims. That and about 60 lb/ft of torque, 50 HP, and 40 db, haha. You can hear me pretty easily. This 07 SLK thought I was racing when I just rolled off the line. Still pulled it, though, haha. Used to see (and still do) modded 1G CLs all the time. Just saw a black CL yesterday with that hood that removes the grill. Kinda weird looking IMO, but I'm guessing it does help for mileage.

I never get hit with a motorcycle, although the other night, I raced a UC, haha. Pulled on the Oldsmobile hard from a roll after giving him a couple cars head start. As I passed him doing 90 in front of State, he hit the lights and siren, haha. I went to the right and slowed, only to have the passenger lean out with his badge and yell, "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!!"

Scared me for a minute, I though I'd get a speed contest or at least an EoS!

I swear to God it was a girl driving!! She had parked over by the 76 on Ocean while I walked to get the POS Buick rental I had. Maybe his GF?

I might've seen you... But I'm usually in a rush to get somewhere, so I might've not noticed. Do you still have an Acura grill? If so, then I think I saw you the other day near Taraval on 19th. There was another TL in front of you or something while you were in the right lane. I was in the left lane.
