^ Sorry man but that was the worst explanation I have ever heard. So a blue Z got beat and they put a "kill on their car?" What does that mean?
Then the guy bought a GS350?
Wow that was really confusing. Sorry if I am semi-retarded tonight and just dont get it

I think Javy knows more, either Javy or flipside 909 was the leader I think it was 2006 or 07. It is a long thread in SOCAL regional post but I can't find it. But there was a nissan Z car (they had like radios in the car and the leader guy called the guy that had the turbo or supercharged IS to make the guy look bad then the Z guy ended up talking in the forum in a post saying "thanks for gangbanging me on the I5" you might search for that in the search and find that post search for gangbanging me on the I5

Haha, only the OG's know this story... This is now known in SoCal CL lore as "The I-5 Ganbang."
And to answer your question, I got about 5 MPG doing top speed. I remember going through a 1/4 tank of gas in a matter of 10 minutes.

Here's another "Mach1" picture... For those of you that didn't come on the convoy, last night on the way back we "encountered" a blue 350Z who decided he was fast enough to join our convoy. He was peaceful for a while, but then decided he wanted to extol the virtues of his car... After discussing it very briefly on the radios, we then took quick action, and a group of 5 or 6 of us decided to show him exactly what he was messing with. The 350Z floors it, and about 10 seconds later I did the same, followed by a couple more from our convoy. We caught up to him (while he was at WOT, by the way) in a matter of seconds - probably 10. I pulled next to him, then floored it again to let him feel the power up close and personal. I backed off and let the others do the same thing. The icing on the cake was Ed (edgy) came and finished the job with his supercharged IS300. LOTS of fun, and when flipside909 and the rest of the crew caught up with us at the gas station, he already had us labeled - the Mach1 crew... After we got back on the road, we again encountered the 350Z, and all of us rolled down our windows and give him a 
. We then decided to commemorate the occasion by marking the kill on my car...
