Default AP1 VS M45

Im driving home on the highway when I see this this ( I thought it was a g35) gettin on the highway....n excited as hell cuz never raced one before. so I get infront on the car in front of me so we would have nothing but highway. We cruise at the same speed on this long curve. And afterwards I noticed it wasn't even a g35 it was something different. And while I was starin at the car he floors it. I wasn't expectin it becuz he had a car infront of him and ended up slowin down n switchin lanes so we were beside each other goin around 90 and I down shift to 4th waitin for him to go and he floors it gets a lil jump but I reel him in and just kept on walkin away. I left him by like 2 cars lengths on only 4th gear.



Just wondering if anyone else has experience this car. All I have is spugen ti exhaust, aem cai, test pipe. And my top was down.

you sure it wasn't a m35? i would think the m45 (V8) should be able to hang with the S on the Freeway...

ps. I think the M45 Sport looks hawt!

In that case, nice kill! They are pretty heavy cars so I'm sure that worked to your advantage--that and the fact that M45's are automatics

mostly the auto helped...as weight isn't much of a factor at those speeds. Also, I'm curious as to what the M45's coefficient of drag and gearing are...

Nice run

Magazine racing indicates that the M45 traps around 98-99, so a slight pull on the highway isn't out of the question.
