it was about 1am on I-45 north passing through the woodlands and conroe, tx. there was literally almost no one on the road. i saw taillights on two bikes up ahead of me. i sped up and pulled along side. i have no idea what kind of bikes they were. we were going about 80mph. i dropped to 3rd gear, they dropped and we all took off. one guy was tenative and kind of held back. the other guy walked me. we slowed down and did it again. this time both bikes walked me. my gt500 makes 555rwhp / 574 rwtq with cai, stock blower, 2.6 upper, iw lower, 3" magnaflow catback.
this is where the fun starts:rockon:. we all slowed down back to 80mph or so. i was behind them and dumped it in 4th and blew past them to do a high speed run. they started chasing after me, but i had a big head start. i shifted to 5th gear at 6000rpm and kept accelerating. i buried the speedometer with at least 1000rpm left to go before redline in 5th gear! (things get a little blurry going this fast...the road and my memory!) i kept it floored in 5th for another five seconds or so, then put it in 6th gear and floored it for another 5 seconds or so. then i backed off. the bikers caught up to me after i slowed down. they gave the thumbs up.
i'm not sure how fast i went. i'm guessing 170mph, which would be a little faster than previous top speed. these cars are freaking crazy!! i could have kept it in 5th gear a lot longer without redlining. it makes me want to run the texas mile. it also makes me wish our speedometer went a lot higher.
by the way, my car was pulling some major timing after this. no lights or warnings on the dash. it just seemed like a total lack of power once i exited the interstate and turned around for home.
