Infinity G- coupes are quick!

Coming back from a car show in the cuda on Sunday-just idling at a red light.

Light turns green and I take off normally but notice the guy next to me in this Infinity G coupe paces me and lets it rip so I step on the gas as he's pulling away, snap hard into second gear, and he's leaving me at this point.....finally I begin to catch him and pass him in third gear and he lets off -maybe to make it look like he let me win, ha, ha.

Anyways I give him a thumbs up and his pretty Wife waves to us out of the pass window.

We get up to the next light and I asked him if it is a manual or auto, and he said it's a paddle shifted 7 speed auto that he shifts at 7 grand.

I was like "Wow!".........then I thought maybe he did let me win, ha, ha.

I guess horsepower and a sloppy four speed can't always compete with modern technology and fuel injection.

(No other cars on the road) and a nice straight away otherwise I would not have played along.
