Actually, that wasn't me. I was in the black E55 behind you guys. The red NSX is a buddy of mine. Mines black.

So when I pulled up next to him at the light (we were behind you at the light), I rolled down my window and yelled, "you can't hang with the AMG's!!!"

His NSX is turbo, so I was hoping to see you guys run. It's actually incredibly fast and puts my E55 to shame.

The red one that day in particular was Omar, whose is turbo'ed. Rahim's red one is indeed supercharged. Mine is indeed......slow.
