Well, i was driving down a 2 lane 55 mph road, and get next to a G6, i passed him quickly and then we get caught at a light. He pulls up Right even with me, and the light turns green. I didnt launch but i started off perfect for the conditions, roads soaked, took a quick lead of about half a car, shifted into 2nd, and the tires just SPUN!, must have forgotten about the road conditions and gave it way too much gas. I shifted into third, and at this time his trunk was about even with my door. rode third out untill i was even with him again, but had to turn off, Maybe if i had decent tires, or remembered how easy the ####ty ones spin in the rain i woulda had him! Oh well... I wouldnt call it a loss. Anyone else raced a G6? Do they have a 5 spd or just auto?
