The thing that a lot of people don't realise until they own a car like the G, is that almost every car on the road wants to race you. Also unless you set the road on fire and dissappear over the horizon, people in less powerful cars take it as a moral victory due to the price/performance ratio.
Some guy tried to race me once in some supped up modded toyota import, thrashed him without going over 5k rpm but his car was nearly on fire. At the ensuing island he shouted:
Nearly!!! My car only cost three grand though!!
My reply was:
It looks like it!!
The point is that if the two cars were extended to the maximum of their capabilities, as expected, one would be long gone into the distance.....if you was keeping up with a G then the G was not being driven how it could be......
