I don't usually drive like this, but it was too perfect to pass up. I'm in a not too populated area where a 3 lane road hits a stop light. I'm in the middle with my viggen, to my right a G35 coupe, to my left a new Acura TL.
Light turns green and we are all off. After first gear the Acura was slightly ahead, the G35 was a stick and we shifted at the same time. Second gear and the G and I caught the Acura and were all dead even, we shift again at the exact same time. Third gear and I pulled ahead by about 2 lengths and then slowed to the legal limit. The G and Acura blazed by me and kept racing for a while. There were no other cars in front of us and the speed limit was 55. By the way, the G35 was louder than my own car, and yes they were both trying. They both have a 40 hp advantage over me so this is proof that I'll take torque over hp, especially at 6000 ft. It was fun to see how my vig stacked up.
