This story is factitious. Although it may be similar to something that may or may not have happen, it is not.
So I'm at a light waiting for it to turn green and this light blue G35 on 20's stops next to me. Well the light turns green and he accelerates like normal and so do I. I shift to second but he runs out first. So I hit it from about 4.5K rpms and as I start to get next to him I hear him get on it, just as I get into v-tak. I pull half a car through second and make it a full car by the end of third. Shut down after finishing third. I thought it would be closer but I guess big shiny wheels slow you down.
