Couldn't shake a Hemi RT

Got into it with a Hemi RT, the station wagon thing.. I was in 3rd gear at about 60mph and we got on it till a little over 100. I barely pulled.. I mean inches the whole time. I was pulling, but it was like a snail crawling past his car. I didn't think those were so quick. My 6mt is stock, 04. But I didn't think that big wagon had soo much go...

Straight line will be closer than you think, but when the road gets curvy, it's another story.

yea it was a very close run... we were neckn' neck from 60-80 I had about 5 ft then i shifted lost about 3 ft of that and gained another couple ft by 100. Didnt want to risk anything so i shut down a little in front of him. But i mean it was a frustrating race... get it over with... someone pull ahead...!!!!!!

I drove one while I was shopping for the G. Very powerful car. With a few mods I'm sure it could be a real beast.

Lots of pieces are from the Mercedes E Class. It was actually a pretty nice car. I couldn't bring myself to buy a wagon. Dunno why.

You obviously didn't hear about the mod that will greatly increase the redline on G35s. I agree with Finiti about the mediocre performance of the G35, so I had the mod done. Here are some Infiniti mechanics checking out the mod on my G35 engine on a test bed:

funny. i just went up against a 300c here.

the roads i was driving on were straight for short bits then had bends and were straight again, etc. also, we drive on the opposite side of the road.

anyway i thought the 300c would be so close in competition i didnt even try to pull on him in the straights.. i just trailed him. then we got up to a part with a series of bends, we were both doing 90 or so. i floored it going in (i drive that section a lot - its fun). up to 100 or so things were ok for both of us, i was slowly pulling. By 110-120 i was ahead by a small margin - a few cars- i figured he was slowing down for the turns but wasnt sure. in between bends he couldnt really close the gap. anyway halfway into the next bend i saw the left side of his car start to go off the road he slowed down a lot after that... at the next open stretch he wanted to race again though... i declined

Its always a good race...I've always pulled from start to finish......but its a snails pull...if you are lax in your shifting...you lose...if you have a passenger and they have a passenger...you will probably lose.....we are more adversly affected by weight than the torque monster.
