2008 E63 vs Maserati Ghibli

Happened about two weeks ago. Went to in n out cause they close around 1AM in the morning here in LA. I exited IN N OUT and went to a stop light and next to me rolled a ghibli. Nice exhaust and nice car. He punched it and passed me and I just slowly followed him. Luckily the light turned red in the front and I came up next to him. Didn't know if he was really going to go, but he did. The light turns green and I don't punch it and I silently wait for him to drop the hammer. So he drops it and I drop it 1-2 seconds after. We raced to about 85mph (OPEN ROAD, NO CARS) and my car started pulling like no tomorrow past 60mph. He made the first right and departed. Nice exhaust, nice car, but performance is OK. Raced a kid in a g37 a week ago too. He lost and just didn't race second time.

Expected but at least he went for it! Did you pace him for the first 1-2 seconds?

I've yet to see one of those (Ghibli) pushed hard yet. I see them all the time driving around now so I assume in due time.
