Default Edged by a G35

Well, come to find out, it wasn't stock. It was from a rolling start and he stabbed it a bit before I was on him, but he was pulling on me ever so slightly. Let off at about 95mph (red light coming and traffic ahead). I pulled alongside and chatted to him at the next light. He was turbo'd and pretty proud. He asked me what mods I had. Told him I was stock I do have a lid, but that's about it.

It was a quick little G and the driver was a decent guy. No harm, no foul. What a rush.

Gotta get them o2s replaced though. They throw a code every time I take it past 5 grand. The SES light goes off after about 3 drives. Oh, and I foolishly had the AC on too.

Yeah the a/c turns itself off at a predetermined rpm. I lowered that a bit on mine with hp tuners.
