Some kind of van that was carrying bread for supermarket. He took me cause he had more torque.

The G37 is listed as having a 5.2 sec 0-60 time.
I would call it "marginally" faster in a straight line.
Plus most of the women I see driving them are not trying to race anyone.

I seem to have the most problem with idiots in pickup trucks.

I just ignore those douches. Racing on the street is stupid.

Well before I wrecked my s2k, and btw mine was completely stock I still had the ricers and the like rev at me and try to get me to race and I would just look at them and laugh.... There were a few pathetic cars that wanted to mess around or would tailgate me and I would look at them and be like, "Really?" But none of them could keep up on the twisties or rev to 9k lol.....

Pickup trucks, a retard in a stock V6 MX6, a Corolla with an exhaust, all trying desperately for a race. I don't even give them the satisfaction of a look or nod.

Yeah I get that all the time too. Mostly from the teenage guys that think they are hot shit in their raised trucks. I do occasionally get just normal cars getting beside me and just taking off, then slowing down again. The best thing you can do is just ignore them.

But still, I mean come on. Who is going to race a stock G37? It's like an old lady car. The sedan is anyway. Haha
