I was driving car 211 running on 4 cylinders and bald winter tires. I pulled 2 plugs and stuffed potatoes into my exhaust just to make things more interesting against Jasonoff.

There was also a strange weather system in the area that caused hail only in my lane.

Out of nowhere, several moose just wandered on track too...I had to swerve around them. It turns out that one of them was giving birth so I got out of the car to help, named the baby moose Hans, then got back in my car to complete my 13.618 ET.

The potato shot out and covered my windshield.

Not a fair race IMO... Guess you G guys have to cheat in order to win

here is a reality check for everyone:

Modified Magazine compared the stock Z (I know...a touch faster than a stock G35 6mt) to a stock S200, and the lap time results were 1:23 for the Z and 1:30 for the s2K.

Same driver, the Z is a full 7 seconds faster.

Of course the fugly STI ran a 1:18

Why are you guys comparing with the G when you can compare it with the 350z with no rear seat!?!??

Yeah? And? What's the altitude? Trapping 99mph at 73 degrees isn't anything special.

But that is one hell of a launch.

Your modded G edged out a pretty much stock S2000 by 0.02s

I thought stock vs stock the G kills the S??? Guess not
