Beautiful day today...finished up at work and put the top down for the cruise home. Right after I got off base I saw a black with red stripes GT500 merging onto the highway that I was on. I sped up a little to meet him at the end of the on ramp. As I went by, I shot him a rev. I got about two hundred yards ahead and for a second it seemed like he wasn't going to bite. Then I saw him punch it in my rearview. I downshifted to third at about 70-75 and punched it just as he came screaming by. There was no stopping that freight train as it went past. We slowed down and stayed together until traffic cleared. I pulled up alongside and asked him what year it was...2009. We slowed to about 60 and I heard him downshift. I dropped back down to 3rd and nodded. He didn't honk so I nodded again and punched it. I got the hit, but he instantly ate that up. We took it up to about 120 before we hit traffic and he was 2-3 cars ahead and making slow, but steady progress. When we slowed back down I asked him what size pulley he had...stock. I know they are heavy, but I expected to get raped worse than what I did. I think if I wasn't stockish, i.e. if I had a pulley/tune things would have been much closer...we'll see in a week or so. Beautiful car and it was a fun way to burn some $3.30 a gallon hydrocarbons on the way home!:beer:
