No video.
Had a GT350, probably a 2013 or so in front of me at a light turning left onto an access road that has no cross streets.
I was behind him & he looked back. Gave him a thumbs up. He did the head nod.
Turned green, there was one car in front of him. I left it in 1st as shifting into 2nd would've put me at about 2k rpm.
As soon as we turn, he takes off. I do too. Actually didn't miss any shifts which is unusual.
We got up to about 100 and he was about 7 cars ahead of me.
Unfortunately had no E85 in the tank as I had just had the fuel tank replaced.
For comparison, I can normally spin RE71 or RS4 through 2nd & if it's cool part way through 3rd (that's rare though & probably depends more on road). This time had no spin even in 1st.
Pulled up next to him & gave and got the thumbs up.
Also saw the first Corolla GR today, but I was in the Scion.
Tldr : got my ass handed to me by a 2013 GT350
