Q45 up in smoke!
On my way to pick up a new alternator about 2 hours ago. Performance was sucking....low spark voltage. STILL beat an Infinit Q45, and as I pulled away from him I looked in the mirror and watched him go up in smoke. He pulled off into a park (Hyak park on Hwy 20 for Jseabert). If I'd had my digital camera with me, I might have pulled over and took a pic for you guys, but I didn't have it, and he was really pissed and about twice my size!
I was still laughing while changing my alternator at the parts store

Not sure on the year, but I have a clue that will help. His trunk lid didn't match. He had a gray plastic strip on the trunk lid that matched up to the line of the taillights, but the taillights were all red, all the way across the back. So whatever years DIDN'T have the gray lower piece. He got that off an older or newer one.

Sounds like patchwork to me on that Q45, the sucker probably spent a whack of cash on mods etc.
I think he had you in total ponies under the hood, but that supercharger and the torque...he should have known better...

Perhaps he was smoking crack.

Those Q ships are heavy. 0-60 in 6.7 - 6.9 sec range, so it should have been equal competition for you.
The only crack that guy was smoking was coming out of your tailpipe.
