i didnt and still dont think my g could take that car thats why i said maybe he let off. i didnt even think i would have caught him but i did. maybe he was scared of a ticket like said b4. maybe he was scared of the car. or didnt know its potential. i dunno it was fun though.

I would think the FI G would give the CTS-V a run depending on the FI application. Some are pushing 400 to the wheels while others only 300.

Ok, it makes sense now. I wouldn't bother with a 300 rwhp FI application personally. The longer I wait, the longer the aftermarket has a chance to perfect the 9 psi Vortech application I'm drooling over. In this setup, 400+ rwhp is expected.

some nitrous and slicks would give it a good run..
and to the original poster: he just let off the gas.. the chances of you catching up to a car that has 100more hp then you when you are already moving at 100mph is next to impossible..
now for the regular CTS.. you can eat one like cake

Roll on street races are pretty pointless because you don't know when the other guy is going to hit it and back off. Chances are if you caught up to him, its because he let off. On a run up to 150, you're not going to catch a CTS-V with a stock G35. No way, no how.
Whatever you do, don't become a ricer and pass a car after you lost, then act like you just won after you pass him, when he shut it down a long time ago.
I'm not saying you did this, but don't do what ricers do, please.
Better yet, don't race him at all on the street. Take it to the track, which will separate the men from the boys. The timing lights don't lie.

Careful what you say kid - you never know who is at the other end of the keyboard. Maybe I'm just a boy who doesn't have anything more than a remote control car and a dream. Then again, maybe I'm not.

So what do you want?...a cookie?....where are the cops when you need one?
