^+1. This. A G6 is a front drive econobox IIRC. Makes no sense. Unless it was modded heavily which could be the case since the guy was at the track. No way you take a stock G6 to the track. Must be more to the story...

If it was a G6 I wouldn't own up to it spanking my G37. Even if my car were running like crap I just would not tell anyone...ever!!!

Like a G6, Like a G6
Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6

Sorry I had to :-)

But yea, doesn't make sense why a G6 would even have a chance due to the G's obvious performance advantage. A G8 would of course be another story... if it was a G8 GXP I could believe you got beat.

This one time, at the track, I repeatedly stomped on a soccer MILF out in her husband's 6mt 911 turbo 'vert. I think she was shifting at about 2500 rpm

Guys, I agree that the G6's are junk, but the hot rod types were pretty quick. From what I can find, a GXP or GTP coupe could run 5.9 - 6.2 for 0-60 and low 14 second quarters. That's about half a second slower than a G in both measures, and it's in line with the fastest Maximas and 3.5L Altimas. If the G6 was modded or you were asleep at the switch ...

Will try testing with paddles to see if it continues, but I'm a barbie girl in a barbie world, and I expected it to be snappier.

I feel like you answered your own question, sort of..

I can see that happening. I got beat by a soccer mom in a v6 AWD Venza from a dig. She was trying to punk me from a right lane which was ending. I gave it, and spun sideways, and that was the end of it since my wife started freaking out.
The one wheel drive (base G37) really sucks with this much torque. I am too used to my Saab Turbo X XWD system where I just drop the clutch and it goes.

At least nobody outed themselves for being beat by a minivan or something.

Oh. Wait.
