Traffic standing still for you?

As I drive through normal traffic, I feel like everyone around me is just standing still, its kinda fun to zig zag and I find it hard to slow my G37 down! Especially on on-ramps merging on the highway, I like to be going the same speed as traffic when I merge, and its a frustrating feeling when cars wont get out of my way!. Just curious on other G owners thoughts on this.

Yep, I never was a speeder... it's only a mater of time now If it's not for the push back in the seat feeling, it's to hear the engine tone ... next thing you know 20Mph over speed limit... Man I wish we had an autobaun.

The next person to say they feel like they are driving an exotic when in the G37 is getting a week's vacation... If you know what I mean.

thats the only reason i do it, for the exhaust tone. now going 75 in 6th gear then shifting to 4th gear is whoa.
