It's not a race if you don't know about it!

So I'm sitting at a stop light at 5:30ish this morning on Hwy 6 headed north.
I'm well south of Westheimer, no traffic..... The light turns green and out of nowhere this 2005 G35 Sedan takes off like hellfire! WTF????? So I stomp on it, no way to catch up since the dude completely caught me by suprise. Sheesh! If someone wants to blindly sucker punch you and claim they won a street race, they ought to at least let a poor guy know what's coming down. If this guy reads the forums, take note.....Not impressive when you don't even let a fellow G know you want to compare acceleration.

I like that, "it's not a street race, officer, we were comparing acceleration".

No worries, Cato.....Sounds like he was late for work, or had to 'drain' his last coffee....

Maybe he was late to work.... at 5:30 am???? I went WOT and could not gain on him, so I think he was trying to show he had a superior G. When I was at WOT, he was not gaining and I was not reeling in. Yeah, 5:30 is way to early for antics like that. I was drinking my first mug of espresso at the time.

I have more fun in the twisties than with flat out straight line acceleration. That is what separates the men from the boys.
