Nissan 350Z
Just had a little encounter on a dual carriageway (one with several roundabouts breaking it up) and had a Jag XJ6 with a young bloke behind me, obviously looking to try and get me to put my foot down... so oblidged.
Now, I dont know what size engine it had, but it was a big car and I was expecting to get my ass handed to me on a plate. So I put my foot down and pulled a few car lengths on it up to the ton.
Next roundabout, same again, dont pull quite as much distance this time, he's right behind me, so I pull over into the left lane, and he either bottles it or he had the slipstream effect from being behind, because when I pull over, I slowly start pulling away... but I have a car in front so have to lift off and let him go by.
Next roundabout, he puts his foot down, as do I, and if anything I seem to be gaining (AGAIN!). On this stretch theres a couple of sharpish bends and the car does not look comfortable at all going around corners. It was easy to keep up.
Anyone know the specs of those things? I fully expected to lose and was surprised ... like I say i dont know what engine it had, but it had twin exhaust pipes.
