Is That A Ferrari Behind Me?

[No Worries]

I headed up Lookout Mountain today on my old Suzuki. A lot of traffic coming down, but I was going up pretty quickly when about halfway up I got behind a line of cars. All of a sudden there's a bright, red car behind me. WTF did that come from? I couldn't recognize it, but it was low and wide. I thought it was a Ferrari.

I pulled over and let the car by. It's a Nissan GT-R. I waited a few minutes and pulled out when I saw more cars coming. I'm soon behind the Nissan. Pretty slow to the top when the Nissan pulls up the road I was going. I love being behind fast cars on a tight curvy road.

I started slowing down at the first curve. The county had dumped sand on the road when it snowed earlier in the week. I can stay in a tire track, but it slows me down. Plus, even some of the tire tracks had sand. The Nissan started pulling ahead. I almost lost it when I came in too fast and my back tire caught some sand. I saved it and caught up to him when he slowed to turn. That was a quick car.

I googled it when I got home: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...gt_r_road_test. 480 HP at the wheels, and 0-60 in 3.3 seconds for only $70K.
