So I was bored and decided to hit town to kill some time tonight, just to see what was happening. Got to town and nothing happened to I hit one of my turnaround spots and decided to head home. On the way back through town I wasn't paying much attention until we got fairly close to a red light and I seen what I thought was a gto. Got closer, and it was. Couldn't see the back badge but I thought it said a 6.0. I decided to follow him, and hope he dove on the highway so I could get a run or two in. He bit and dove for the highway. I followed suit and passed him in 4th gear at around 60, gooched it a little bit to see if he was game and he was. Pulled beside me so I dropped to 3rd around 60ish, and we were off. It was a real close run, I probably didn't even pull a car till close to the top of my 4th (probably 105-110mph) when we came up on traffic, so I led the way around the cars for another run around 60. Wound out 3rd and 4th, it was close again I probably didn't even have a car when I tried for 5th, which the synchro is failing and is hard to hit. He went by me when I missed so I got out of it. Even if I hit 5th though he was going to pull on me since it's a weak gear though. I eventually caught up to him, gave him the thumbs up which he responded and we went from around a 40-50 kick which I dropped to 2nd. 3 beeps and we were off again and I had probably a car to the top of my 4th which I let off since 5th was worthless. I turned off after that because we had went too far too fast. The gto dropped gears so I believe it was a 6speed, but unsure what the motor was. It was black and was probably stock, I think it *may* have had a quiet catback b/c the tips but I'm not sure.
If the guy with the gto sees this, it was fun running you, you definetly had me up top even if I used 5th gear, and maybe we can do it again some other time.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the car is a 306 with 10:1 compression along with the mods in sig. The car also went a 12.9 at 107.5 at rock sat night also.
I will also add I put my underdrive pulleys back on after running at rockingham so that was another slight mod in my favor as well, along with 2 more degrees of timing.
